Working Out Areas For Concrete
Before you read the following information it is important to note that we are on hand to help at any time, so you can call us and we can work the volume out for you.
To work out any area you must multiply the length(L) by the width(W) by the depth(D). By multiplying these three amounts this will give you a cubic amount. As we work in cubic metres it is important to ensure that everything is either measured in metres or converted to metres. Below we have a conversion table:
| Unit of Measurement | Convert to Metres (m) | Example of Conversion |
|---|---|---|
| Centimetres (cm) | Divide by 100 | 100cm divided by 100 = 1m |
| Milimetres (mm) | Divide by 1000 | 1000mm divided 1000 = 1m |
| Feet (ft) | Divide by 3.3 | 9.9ft divided by 3.3 = 1m |
| Inches (in) | Multiply by 0.025 | 4in multiply by 0.025 = 0.1m |
It is important to convert everything to metres before you calculate your volume. If you do not have everything in metres you will get the wrong amount.
Volume Calculator
Example One - Square Area
How to work out a square floor area:
To work out the area for diagram 1 you must multiply 10mx10mx100mm. Before you can carry out the calculation you must firstly convert 100mm to metres. Using the conversion table you can see that you have to divide 100mm by 1000. This will result in 0.1m. We are now ready to calculate the volume for you ready mixed concrete.
10m x 10m x 0.1m = 10 cubic metres
Use our volume calculator to calculate volume.
Example Two - Odd Shaped Floor Area
How to work out an odd shaped floor area:
To work out the area for diagram 2 you would have to do 2 separate calculations. As you can see we have split the floor into area A and area B.
Area A would be 4m x 5m x 0.1m = 2m
Area B would be 3m x 2m x 0.1m = 0.6m
This would give a total of 2.6 cubic metres
Use our volume calculator to calculate volume.
Example Three - Strip Footing Area
How to work out a strip footing area:
To work out any strip footing you must firstly work out your total linear metres. A lot of people make the error of not calculating this. The total linear metre from Diagram 3 would be 5m + 5m + 5m = 15m.
The width of the footing above is 600mm and the depth is 800mm. Before we can work out the total volume we must convert our width and depth to metres. Using the conversion table we can see that we have to divide mm by 1000 to give the amount in metres.
600mm divide by 1000 = 0.6m
800mm divide by 1000 = 0.8m
Now we have converted the measurements into metres we can calculate the volume.
Volume = 0.6 x 0.8 x 15
Volume = 7.2 cubic metres
