Using a waste factor of 5 percent, determine the number of cubic yards of concrete needed to pour two of the piers in Figure 11.40.

What will be an ideal response?


First, find the cross-sectional area:

Cross-sectional area (sf) = 1? × 1? = 1 sf

Volume in piers (cy) = 2 ea × 1 sf × 3? = 6 cf / 27 cf per cy = 0.22 cy

Add 5% waste and round off.

Volume in piers (cy) = 0.22 cy × 1.05 = 0.23 cy – Use 0.25 cy
