Concrete Columns

Sponsored Links

Concrete is in general calculated in cubic yards - cy. 

The concrete required in a column can be calculated as

v =  0.7854 a² h / 27   (1)

where 

v = required concrete - cy (cu. yards)

a = column area (sq. ft.)

h = column height (ft)

• 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet
• 1 ft = 12 in

Concrete required per 1 ft Column Height
