How to Calculate Concrete Weight
Follow these simple steps to calculate concrete weight for your project:
Concrete Weight References
Per Cubic Yard
One cubic yard of standard concrete weighs approximately 3,600-4,000 pounds (1,630-1,815 kg).
Per Cubic Foot
One cubic foot of standard concrete weighs approximately 133-150 pounds (60-68 kg).
Per Cubic Meter
One cubic meter of standard concrete weighs approximately 2,130-2,400 kg (4,695-5,290 lbs).

Weight Calculator FAQ
Standard concrete weighs approximately 3,600-4,000 pounds per cubic yard (1,630-1,815 kg per 0.765 m³). The exact weight varies based on aggregate type, moisture content, and mix design. Our calculator uses 4,000 lbs/yd³ as the standard.
One cubic foot of standard concrete weighs approximately 133-150 pounds (60-68 kg). Our calculator uses 133 lbs/ft³ as the standard density, which equals 2,130 kg/m³ in metric units.
Concrete weight is critical for: transport vehicle capacity planning, crane and lifting equipment sizing, structural load calculations (dead load), foundation design, and safety considerations during construction. Knowing weight helps ensure proper equipment selection and safe handling.
Yes, concrete weight varies: lightweight concrete (90-115 lbs/ft³), standard concrete (133-150 lbs/ft³), and heavyweight concrete (up to 300 lbs/ft³). Our calculator uses standard concrete density. For special concrete types, consult your concrete supplier for exact weights.
Divide pounds by 2,000 to get short tons (US), or by 2,240 for long tons (UK). For metric, divide kilograms by 1,000 to get tonnes. For example: 4,000 lbs = 2 short tons, or 2,130 kg = 2.13 tonnes.
