Concrete Weight Calculator
Calculate the weight and volume of concrete for your construction projects. Understand how dimensions, thickness, and concrete type affect your material requirements.
Step 1: Dimensions
Understanding Dimensions
Concrete weight depends on volume (length × width × thickness). Ensure all measurements are in consistent units for accurate calculations. Standard concrete thickness for driveways is 4-6 inches, sidewalks 3-4 inches.
Step 2: Concrete Properties
About Concrete Density
Standard concrete weighs about 150 pounds per cubic foot (2,400 kg/m³). Lightweight concrete can be 115 lb/ft³, while heavyweight concrete for special applications can reach 175 lb/ft³ or more.

Volume Analysis
Concrete Weight Formula
Weight = Volume × Density
The concrete weight is calculated by determining the volume of your project (length × width × thickness) and multiplying by the density of your concrete type. Volume must be in consistent units (cubic feet or cubic meters).
