Concrete Footing

Estimate amount of concrete for footing

concrete footing

Concrete is in general calculated in cubic yards - cyRequired concrete for footing can be calculated as

v =  0.0031 l w t   (1)

where 

v = required concrete - cy (cu. yards)

l = length of footing (ft)

w = width of footing (ft)

t = depth of footing (in)

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

Concrete Volume - CY per Linear Foot of Footing
