Concrete weight per cubic feet
A good way to find out how much concrete weighs is to break it down into smaller calculations
A solid slab of concrete weighs about 150 pounds per foot for the concrete and 450 pounds per square yard
If you use stronger or weaker concrete than average, the weight will change
A solid slab of concrete weighs 150 pounds per cubic foot
A cubic foot of crushed concrete weighs 75 pounds
Concrete weight per cubic
It can be important to understand how much concrete weighs per shipyard, because it is typically ordered by the shipyard for large tasks
A solid slab of concrete weighs 4,050 pounds per cubic yard
A cubic yard of crushed concrete weighs 2,025 pounds
A cubic yard of concrete weighs 2,025 tons
A yard of concrete weighs an average of 4050 pounds
If you do the math, you get 2,025 tonnes per year cubic yard of concrete
Weight of wet vs dry concrete?
A yard of average strength concrete weighs about 4050 pounds
To mix a yard of concrete, it takes about 20-25 liters of water
If you are more, you risk watering and weakening the concrete
As wet concrete dries and hardens, it evaporates about half to 2/3 of this water in the process of hydration and hardening
Most of the water evaporates as it hardens, but some remains in the concrete for days, weeks, and possibly even years
How much does a cubic foot of concrete weigh?
A cubic foot of concrete is 12″ wide by 12″ high and 12″ deep
There are 27 cubic feet in one cubic yard of concrete
Knowing that a cubic yard of concrete weighs about 4050 pounds, it is simple math to figure out the weight per cubic yard cubic feet
A cubic foot of concrete weighs about 150 pounds
Remember this is an average based on 3500-4000 PSI concrete
How much does a square foot of concrete weigh?
If a cubic foot of concrete weighs 150 pounds, then each cubic inch weighs 125 pounds
The weight of a square foot of concrete depends on how thick it is:
To find out the weight of 1 square foot of concrete, simply multiply its depth by inch x 125 lbs or its depth per ft with 150 lbs
How much does a yard of crushed concrete weigh?
The weight of a crushed concrete yard will vary depending on the crusher size
It is all done by machines that crush demolished concrete into small pieces
3/4″ crushed concrete weighs 2,550 pounds per yard
3/4″ crushed concrete weighs 2,550 pounds per yard
Generally, concrete that is torn down weighs about 1/2 to 1/4 less per pound cubic yard vs
That’s about 2,025 to 3,025 pounds of demolished, uncrushed concrete per cubic yard
If you tear down concrete in large chunks, it will typically weigh much less per cubic meter
Small pieces of concrete almost completely fill a cubic yard container, which can become very heavy
How much concrete can be in a container?
Most of the time, you can load up to 10 tons (20,000 pounds) of concrete into a concrete container
I recommend that you calculate the weight of your concrete before renting a container to ensure that you do not overload it
Concrete generally cannot be hauled in containers larger than 20 yards
If you have a lot of concrete to get rid of, rent more than one container
In general, concrete containers are much less money per pounds than waste containers
here in NJ a 20 yard dumpster costs about $700 bucks, but a concrete dumpster only costs about $300
Summary: How much does a yard of concrete weigh?
A solid slab of concrete has an average weight of 4,050 pounds (2 tons) per cubic meter cubic yard or 150 pounds per cubic feet
A solid slab of concrete has an average weight of 4,050 pounds (2 tons) per cubic meter cubic yard or 150 pounds per cubic feet
The actual weight per yardage may vary based on the ingredients and conditions used to make the dry mix and the amount of water used to mix it

Stronger concrete is heavier per yard because it has more stone than cement
Stronger concrete is heavier per yard because it has more stone than cement
Weaker concrete is lighter per yard because it has less stone and more cement
Weaker concrete is lighter per yard because it has less stone and more cement
Water also matters because it weighs about 8 pounds per gallon and you need about 20-25 gallons of water to make a concrete yard
Water also matters because it weighs about 8 pounds per gallon and you need about 20-25 gallons of water to make a concrete yard
But it is a very small amount compared to the total weight of concrete

From there you can calculate how many yards of concrete that is and then the total weight

Crushed concrete weighs closer to 2,025 pounds (1 ton) per cubic meters or 75 pounds per cubic feet

When you break up concrete and load it into a container, there will be plenty of open space between the chunks

This is why broken concrete weighs so much less per yard than wet or poured concrete
This is why broken concrete weighs so much less per yard than wet or poured concrete
Slabs will usually weigh more than just the concrete because they include rebar or wire mesh
