Concrete Volume Calculator

Build a multi-item concrete quantity schedule for slabs, footings, beams, walls and columns, with category subtotals and an Excel export.

Per item: V = L x W x H (slab, beam, wall, curb) | L x W x D (footings) | A x H (columns) | (PI/4) D^2 x H (circular). Totals: net = SUM(items); supply = net + wastage%.

Slab Concrete Volume Calculator

Calculate concrete volume for rectangular and L-shaped slabs with slab count and wastage margins.

V = A_plan × H · V_total = V × n · V_ready = V_total × (1 + wastage/100) · Bags = ceil(V_ready / 0.033)

Footing & Foundation Volume Calculator

Calculate concrete required for spread (pad) footings and strip footings, per-footing and total volumes with ready-mix allowance.

V = L × W × D × n · V_ready = V_total × (1 + wastage/100)

Column Concrete Volume Calculator

Accurate concrete requirements for round, square, and rectangular structural columns.

V = A × H × n · A = (π/4)d² round, b×b square, w×d rectangular

Concrete Mix Design Calculator

Compute per-batch and per-cubic-meter quantities of cement, sand, aggregate, and water from a mix ratio.

V_dry = V × 1.54 · M_mat = V_dry × (ratio / Σ ratios) · Water = w/c × cement mass

Concrete Formwork Pressure Calculator

Lateral formwork pressure for a concrete pour from placement rate, temperature and unit weight, capped at the hydrostatic head.

p = Cw Cc (7.2 + 785 R/(T + 17.8)), capped at the fresh lift hydrostatic head

Concrete Block Wall Calculator

Block count and bedding mortar quantity for a block wall, with an opening deduction and a waste allowance.

N = A_net x 12.5 blocks/m2 ; mortar = A_net x 0.028 m3/m2

Rebar Development & Splice Calculator

Tension development length and Class A and B lap splices for a bar diameter, steel grade and concrete strength.

ld = (fy x psi_t x psi_e x psi_s) / (2.1 x lambda x sqrt(fc)) x db
Construction & QS Live Tool

Staircase Concrete Volume Calculator

Concrete volume of a reinforced concrete staircase, split into waist slab, steps and landing.

L = sqrt((n g)^2 + (n r)^2) ; V = L t w + n (0.5 r g w)

Chloride Ingress & Cover Durability Calculator

Fickian chloride diffusion to the reinforcement, reporting the time to corrosion at your cover and the cover needed for the design life.

C(x,t) = Cs * erfc(x / (2*sqrt(D*t)))

Plaster & Screed Volume Calculator

Plaster volume, dry mix volume, cement bags and sand quantity for a given area, thickness and mix ratio.

V_wet = A t ; V_dry = 1.33 V_wet ; cement = V_dry x kg per m3 of the chosen mix
