1. With your measuring tape, measure the concrete 1. With your measuring tape, measure the concrete structure at hand. Take the length, width and height of the structure at hand. Take the length, width and height of the edifice. Write down the measurements in footage.edifice. Write down the measurements in footage.

2. With the derived measurements, calculate the volume of 2. With the derived measurements, calculate the volume of the structure. Do so by multiplying the width and the the structure. Do so by multiplying the width and the length to come up with the area. Multiply the product with length to come up with the area. Multiply the product with the depth to come up with the volume (in cubic feet.) Note the depth to come up with the volume (in cubic feet.) Note this measurement.this measurement.

3. Calculate the number of pounds of crushed concrete 3. Calculate the number of pounds of crushed concrete that will be needed in your project. You can come up with that will be needed in your project. You can come up with this figure by multiplying the volume by 150, since the this figure by multiplying the volume by 150, since the weight of reinforced concrete is pegged at 150 pounds per weight of reinforced concrete is pegged at 150 pounds per cubic foot. Note the numerical result on your paper.cubic foot. Note the numerical result on your paper.

4. Convert the resulting number – pounds – to US tons, 4. Convert the resulting number – pounds – to US tons, since is the unit of measurement of the crushed concrete since is the unit of measurement of the crushed concrete sold by retailers. Come up with this number by dividing the sold by retailers. Come up with this number by dividing the pounds of concrete by 2000.pounds of concrete by 2000.

Now that you have solved the number of Now that you have solved the number of bags needed for your project, what you bags needed for your project, what you need to do next is to need to do next is to calculate for the budget??
