Material weight

How much does a yard of concrete weigh?

A cubic yard of normal-weight concrete is commonly estimated around 4,000 pounds. Lightweight and specialty mixes can be different, so supplier data is the final source.

Why weight changes

• Aggregate type and density.
• Air entrainment and water content.
• Reinforcement, moisture, and site conditions.

Use volume calculators for ordering concrete. Use supplier weights when planning hauling, disposal, or load limits.
