Concrete Weight per Cubic Foot Calculator
Here’s a table that provides various concrete mix types and their respective weights per cubic foot:
| Concrete Type | Weight per Cubic Foot (lbs/ft³) |
|---|---|
| Normal Weight Concrete | 140 – 150 lbs/ft³ |
| Lightweight Concrete | 90 – 115 lbs/ft³ |
| High-Density Concrete | 160 – 190 lbs/ft³ |
| High-Strength Concrete | 150 – 175 lbs/ft³ |
| Reinforced Concrete (with steel) | 145 – 150 lbs/ft³ |
| Pumice Concrete | 70 – 90 lbs/ft³ |
| Foam Concrete | 30 – 60 lbs/ft³ |
Notes:
- Normal Weight Concrete: This is the standard concrete most commonly used in construction.
- Lightweight Concrete: Made with lightweight aggregates like expanded polystyrene, perlite, or pumice to reduce weight.
- High-Density Concrete: Often made with heavy aggregates like barite or magnetite to provide increased shielding or for specialized uses.
- High-Strength Concrete: Has a higher compressive strength than normal concrete, with weight values somewhat higher due to denser aggregates.
- Reinforced Concrete: Concrete with steel reinforcement, such as rebar, to increase its tensile strength.
- Pumice Concrete: A type of lightweight concrete made from pumice, an igneous volcanic rock, offering lower density.
- Foam Concrete: A highly aerated mix with added foam, leading to a much lighter weight.
