Concrete volume
–

Volume = length × width × depth (or π × r² × depth per hole) plus waste. Bag yield differs by product – a 25 kg bag of dry ready-mix typically yields about 12 litres; enter the value from the packaging. From about 1 m³ ready-mixed concrete from a plant is usually cheaper and more uniform.
