The weight of concrete is estimated based on the width, length, and depth of the slab. Remember A cubic meter or yard of concrete measures less once it’s cut up due to the hollow spaces between the sections.

Concrete Weight per Cubic Foot

• A solid slab of concrete weighs 160 pounds per cubic foot.
• A cubic foot of crushed concrete weighs 65 pounds.

 

Concrete Weight per Cubic Yard

• The solid slab of concrete weighs are 4,000 pounds per cubic yard.
• The cubic yard of broken-up concrete weighs 2,000 pounds.

How much does a yard of concrete weigh in tons?

In U.S.A a Ton is equal to 2000 pounds.

• A yard of concrete weighs 3700 pounds.
• If you divide 3700 pounds by 2000 pounds you get 1.85 Tons. A cubic yard of concrete weighs 1.85 Tons.
• If you practice the metric method of measurement:
• A cubic meter of concrete weighs is 2400 kg.
• A metric ton is 1000 kg.
• If you divide 2400 kg by 1000kg you get 2.4 metric tons A cubic meter of concrete weighs 2.4 metric tons.

 

How Much Does Concrete Weigh?

A standard concrete mix weighs 150 lbs per cubic foot, 4,050 lbs per cubic yard, or 2,400 kg per cubic meter. The weight of concrete is defined by its frequency, which can modify based on the amount of aggregate, water, and air in the mix.

 

How many yards are in a ton?

Since there are 2000 pounds in a ton this is 2700.2000 = 1.35 tons per cubic yard and thus 15 cubic yards weighs 1.35 × 15 = 20.25 tons.

 

How much does a tire filled with concrete weigh?

Find the volume of the large cylinder and subtract the volume of the small cylinder. This will give you a volume in cubic feet. The density of concrete is approximately 150 pounds per cubic foot so multiply the volume by 150 to obtain the approximate weight in pounds.

 

How many 80-pound bags of concrete does it take to make 1 yard?

An 80# bag of pre-mixed cement, sand, and gravel (CONCRETE) is 0.6 cubic feet per bag. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard. So 27 / 0.6 = 45 80# bags.

 

How much is a ton weigh?

Ton, the unit of weight in the avoirdupois arrangement equal to 2,000 pounds (907.18 kg) in the United States (the short ton) and 2,240 pounds (1,016.05 kg) in Britain (the long ton). The metric ton used in the largest other countries is 1,000 kg, equivalent to 2,204.6 pounds avoirdupois.

 

Learn the Density of Concrete

Density is the division of mass for a distributed volume and is defined by the formula:

Density (p) = Mass (m) ÷ Volume (V)

The density of concrete is 3.15 g/cm3 while the quantity of aggregate will vary by the type of stone applied. For example, gravel has an extremely higher density than vermiculite. The density of a standard concrete mix is 2.4 g/cm3 or 150 lbs/ft3.

Various mixes of concrete will practice more or light aggregate as well. For example, the approved concrete mix for a countertop will have smaller aggregate than the mix for a road, which will influence the density and therefore the weight of the concrete.
