Concrete Calculator — Answer & Method

Calculate concrete volume, mix ratios, and material quantities for construction projects.

Formula: Concrete Volume

V = L × W × H (for slabs); V = πr²h (for columns)

L = Length (m)
W = Width (m)
H = Height/Depth (m)

Example Calculation

A 10×5m slab at 15cm depth requires 7.5 m³ concrete (~38 bags of 50kg cement for M20 mix).

Important limitation

Use this as a preliminary estimate and verify project-specific inputs, codes, and designs with a qualified professional.

Key Facts

  • Standard concrete grades: M15, M20, M25, M30 indicate compressive strength in MPa.
  • Typical waste factor is 5-10% additional material.
