How Do You Calculate Cost Of Concrete Slab?
Concrete is a versatile building material that can be formed into just about any shape to serve almost any purpose, and it often finds its way into slabs to support structures or patios. Calculating the cost for a concrete slab for this purpose, or any other, is a simple enough task that can be effectively completed by almost anyone. Using the sledge hammer, drive the wood stakes in the ground to mark the corners of the proposed concrete slab. Measure the length and width of the area using the tape measure, and, using the calculator, multiply the length by the width to find the total area in square feet. If the slab is non-rectangular, you can break it up into sections that will be easier to measure and calculate. Divide the total area of the slab by 3 (to calculate for a 4-inch thick slab) to find the total volume in cubic feet. Divide the length of the slab by 2 (to calculate the amount of steel reinforcing at 2 foot spacing) and multiply by the width. This will calculate the length
