Common questions

How much does concrete weigh?
Normal-weight concrete weighs about 150 lb per cubic foot (2,400 kg/m³). A 10 × 10 ft slab poured 4 inches thick is roughly 33 cubic feet, which comes out to about 5,000 lb (2,268 kg). Use the calculator above to get the exact figure for your pour.
How much does a yard of concrete weigh?
One cubic yard of normal-weight concrete weighs about 4,050 lb (1,837 kg) — roughly 2 short tons. A cubic yard is 27 cubic feet, so 27 × 150 lb/ft³ = 4,050 lb.
How much does concrete weigh per square foot?
It depends on thickness. A 4-inch (100 mm) slab weighs 50 lb/ft² (240 kg/m²); a 6-inch (150 mm) slab weighs 75 lb/ft² (360 kg/m²). Multiply by the slab area to get total weight.
How much does a cubic foot of concrete weigh?
