Как это работает
- 1
Measure the diameter and depth of one pier in feet.
- 2
Enter the number of identical piers.
- 3
The calculator computes the volume of one pier using the cylinder formula.
- 4
It multiplies by the number of piers to get total volume and weight.
pi * (diameter / 2)^2 * depth * num_piersЧасто задаваемые вопросы
How do I convert cubic feet to cubic yards?
Divide the total cubic feet by 27. For example, 75.4 ft³ ÷ 27 ≈ 2.79 yd³.
What is the weight of concrete per cubic foot?
Standard concrete weighs about 150 pounds per cubic foot, but it can vary with mix and moisture.
Should I order extra concrete?
Yes, it's wise to order 5-10% extra to account for spillage, uneven excavation, and variations in the mix.

Формулы
Математика, лежащая в основе этого калькулятора, изложена так, чтобы вы могли проверить результат.
Cylinder Volume
The volume of a cylindrical pier is the area of the circular base (πr²) times the height (depth).
Example:
Input: d = 1.5 ft, h = 3 ft
Calculation: π × (0.75)² × 3
Result: ≈ 5.30 ft³ per pier
Примеры из реальной жизни
Где этот расчет встречается в повседневной жизни.
Deck Footings
Determine concrete needed for cylindrical footings supporting deck posts.
Example: A 12-inch diameter, 3-foot deep footing for a deck post.
Fence Posts
Calculate concrete for setting fence posts in cylindrical holes.
Example: Six 10-inch diameter holes, 2.5 feet deep.
Structural Piers
Estimate material for concrete piers used in foundations or carports.
Example: Four 18-inch diameter piers, 4 feet deep.
Советы и частые ошибки
Tips
- Always measure the actual hole diameter, which may be larger than the post due to digging.
- Use a concrete calculator to convert volume to bags: one 60-lb bag yields about 0.45 ft³.
- Add 10% to your order to avoid running short.
- Check local building codes for minimum footing sizes and depths.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using the post diameter instead of the hole diameter.
- Forgetting to multiply by the number of piers.
- Not accounting for the flared base of some footings, which increases volume.
Допущения и ограничения
- Use the stated inputs and units.
- Results are estimates for planning and education.
- Check measurements and source data before making an important decision.
