Instruction

If the body has the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped (it can be a matchbox, a book, a cube, etc.), then its volume is found by the formula: V=abc, where a is the height of the body, b is its width, c is the length. The values ​​are taken using a regular ruler or measuring tape. Let a matchbox be given, in order to calculate its volume, it is necessary to measure its parameters: a=2cm, b=4cm, c=5 cm, which means that the volume of the box is 4cm*2cm*5cm=40cm cubed.

If the body has a shape other than a parallelepiped, irregular shape, then its volume can be found by the method that was discovered by the ancient Greek scientist Archimedes in the 3rd century BC. To do this, you need to pour water into a measuring vessel, remember how much water is in it (V1), then lower the body there and measure how much water has become (V2), the difference will be the volume of the object: V2-V1. You should carefully study the vessel, in what units it measures water, most likely in milliliters or liters, which means that the volume of the body will also be in the same value.

Example: let it be necessary to measure the volume of a stone. Pour 50 ml of water into a beaker. After lowering the stone into the water, 60 ml of water became in the beaker, which means that the volume of this stone is 60-50 = 10 ml.

In the case when the mass and density of the body are known, the volume of the body is calculated by the formula: V=m/p, where m is the mass, p is the density. It is necessary to calculate according to the formula only when the body weight is known in kilograms, and the density is in kilograms divided per cubic meter; or mass - in grams, and density - in grams per cubic cm, then the volume in the first case will be measured in cubic meters, and in the second - in cubic centimeters. The density of the body is a tabular value, there are special tables of densities of various substances.
Example: let's find the volume of an iron stud, the mass of which is 7.8 g. Find iron in the density table - its density is 7.8 g / cubic cm. Then the volume is 7.8 (g) divided by 7.8 (g / cubic cm) equals 1 cubic centimeter.

Calculate Volume Cuba may be needed not only when solving mathematical problems. For example, you need to know how many bricks are in a cube-shaped package, or how much liquid or dry matter will fit in a container. To do this, of course, you will need to find out a few more parameters, but first of all, you need to calculate the volume Cuba.

You will need

• Recall the definition and properties of a cube
• Measuring device

Instruction

Remember what a cube is. This is a regular hexahedron - a geometric body, each face of which is a square. Because all sides Cuba is the same - then its faces are equal to each other, as well as the edges. That is, to determine the volume, you need to know the size of just one face.

Remember what the volume of the parallelepiped is. It is equal to the area of ​​the base multiplied by the height. But Cuba length, width and height are equal. The cube can be placed on any face, the area of ​​the base will still be the same as in the original position. Label an edge Cuba like a. Find the area of ​​the base. It is equal to the product of length and width, that is, S=a2..

Calculate the volume by multiplying the base area a2 by the height, which in this case is also equal to a. Accordingly, the volume V will be equal to the size of the edge Cuba raised to the third power. V=a3.

If you need to calculate the amount of a substance that is supposed to fill a cubic container, then you need to know the density of this substance. This amount will be equal to the density times the volume Cuba. And in order to calculate, for example, the number of bricks in a cubic container, you need to calculate the volume of each brick, and then divide the volume of the container by the volume of the brick.

note

In some cases, it is necessary to find not the volume, but the area of ​​​​the walls - for example, when calculating the amount of glass for an aquarium. Since all the faces of a cube are the same, the area is the sum of the areas of 6 faces, that is, it is expressed by the formula S=6a2

Try to carry out practical measurements as accurately as possible. You can use a ruler, tape measure, caliper. The main thing is that the divisions comply with the standards.

Meter in Cuba, cubic meter or cubic meter is a standard unit of volume. In these units, the volume of premises is calculated, as well as the consumption of water and gas. They also often indicate the amount of some building materials, for example, boards. The rest, non-systemic units of volume measurement - liters, cubic decimeters and centimeters - are also translated into cubic meters.

You will need

• - calculator;
• - table of substance density;
• - a computer.

Instruction

To calculate the number of cubic meters, if the volume is known, but given in fractional, multiple or off-system units, then multiply it by the desired coefficient. For example, to calculate the number of meters in Cuba for cubic decimeters (litres), multiply their number by 0.001. To convert to cubic centimeters and cubic millimeters, multiply their number by 0.000001 and 0.000000001, respectively.

We will help you figure out how to correctly calculate the volume of transported cargo. This procedure is very important in order to avoid misunderstandings when loading containers or boxes of products into a vehicle. Thanks to modern technologies, it will not be difficult to calculate the volume, the main thing is your presence on our page.

The essence of the calculation of volumes and their role in the delivery process

Volume calculation is an important part of the delivery process, so the calculations must be carried out professionally and without errors. When calculating, it is necessary to indicate all dimensions that must be converted in advance to cubic meters. As practice has shown, this task is not feasible for everyone. At school, we were taught how to translate indicators into m3, but not everyone understands this. The volume of the cargo must be converted to m3 in order to know what area the box will occupy upon delivery.

What is the purpose of calculating cubic capacity?

The cubic capacity must be calculated in order to make a correct and competent application for the transportation. Also, knowing the volume of cargo in cubic meters, you can decide which type of transportation to choose.

How to make calculations and what is their importance?

First of all, let's recall the definition of volume, what it is and what formula is used to calculate it. However, there are times when certain difficulties arise when calculating the volume. This is due to the boxes of non-standard shape. Calculating the volume of an ordinary rectangular box will not be difficult, but the volume of boxes with non-standard shapes requires more care, there are special formulas for this. First you need to know the shape of the box. Consider what forms the boxes are:

• cube shaped box
• cylindrical box
• rectangular box
• box with the shape of a truncated pyramid (very rare)

After determining the shape, measurements of the box are taken. It is important to make accurate measurements to avoid error.

Why do you need to know the volume?

Knowing the exact volume of the box, you can avoid problems during the loading of products into the vehicle. Little depends on the volume of the box itself, the main component is the size of the goods itself. If you ask why? We will answer, because initially it is necessary to focus on the dimensions of the cargo, for which the appropriate box will be selected. Knowing the dimensions of the cargo, you can calculate its volume in order to select the required box. Thus, we translate the volume of cargo into cubic meters, the special formula V = a * b * h will help us with this. As you can see, everything is easy.

It is also important to remember that in order to correctly determine the choice of transport, it is necessary to convert the volume of cargo into cubic meters. It is not difficult to carry out this calculation, for this you just need to first measure the dimensions of the cargo and multiply these indicators. To correctly calculate the delivery, it is imperative to convert units to m3.

What to do if the box is round and not rectangular? This situation is rare, but still it cannot be ruled out. In this case, it is necessary to calculate the volume of the container or box with a circle at the base. The following formula will help with this: V *r2*h. Do not forget, you must first correctly measure the parameters of the load.

Now back to math lessons!

The most frequently asked question is: “how to calculate the volume correctly?”. First of all, it is necessary to determine the volume of what needs to be calculated, namely, the shapes of what shape. Our site will also help you learn how to calculate the total volume of the cargo and the box itself.

What are the most common problems you encounter?

The confusion may lie in determining whether this figure is voluminous or flat. Calculating the volume itself is already the second question, initially you need to know the exact dimensions, remember that there are always three of them.

Now the question of delivery. Having made the necessary calculations of the volume of cargo, it is important to determine the type of delivery. This is a very important question, in which mistakes cannot be made. Therefore, in order to avoid shortcomings, it is necessary to accurately calculate the volume of cargo, after which, focusing on specific numbers, you can safely choose the type of transport.

Which mode of transport is right for you?

It is important to remember that the delivery process includes not only the correct calculation of cubic capacity, but also focuses on the specific placement of products. You have already familiarized yourself with the process of calculations and determination of cubic capacity, now the choice of a vehicle depends only on you.

The cost of shipping goods is an important issue that interests many of our customers. Most transport companies price their services based on the volume of cargo in cubic meters - in other words, the volume of the space that the packaged cargo will occupy in the transport compartment of an aircraft, a sea container, a freight truck or a railway wagon.

Which delivery to choose - air, railway or car?

In order to navigate the prices for delivery and choose the most optimal mode of transport when ordering goods from China, you need to know the total volume of cargo in m 3 that you want to receive. A calculator on our website will help you calculate the volume, but in order to quickly get the desired result, you must use the following data:

• type of packaging (box or cylinder);
• basic packaging parameters - length, width and height (for boxes) or height and diameter (for cylinders);
• number of packages in pieces.

By measuring the main packaging parameters with a ruler, you can calculate the volume of a box or cylinder, and then calculate the volume of the entire consignment in cubic meters. The figures obtained will help you compare the prices for delivery by one or another transport and choose the appropriate option.

Why do you need a volume calculator?

One of the main qualities of a modern businessman is the ability to quickly make important decisions and respond in a timely manner to changes in market trends. Our volume calculator helps you save time on calculations and get the numbers you need in just a few minutes.

Using the volume calculator is convenient and very simple: for calculations, enter the necessary numbers in the appropriate fields, and then feel free to click on the "Calculate" button. The volume calculator in m 3 gives the finished result, regardless of the units of measurement in which you entered the tare parameters - in centimeters or meters. The system automatically converts the data into the required format and displays the final result in cubic meters.

Knowing the volume of containers and the total volume of cargo, you can correctly choose the appropriate type of transport and place the goods in it as compactly as possible without overpaying for empty space. Use the online packaging volume calculator to quickly calculate the volume of a box or tubes, as well as the entire batch of goods. The second calculator will help you find out the estimated cost of shipping cargo from China by transport, taking into account its volume in m 3.

How to calculate the volume of a box?

In order to calculate the volume of a box, it is necessary to measure its length, height and width. If you have a sample of packaging for your products, use a ruler to measure. Information about the parameters of the box can also be obtained from the supplier. There are two ways to calculate the volume of a box in cubic meters: using our online volume calculator in m 3 or using the formula yourself. Let's consider both options.

• In order for the volume calculator to correctly calculate the volume of the box, select the option "Box volume". Measure the box, focusing on the image next to the calculator (or copy the information about its parameters from the seller's website), and enter the numbers into the volume calculation calculator. You can also specify the number of boxes and shipping costs per cubic meter. Click on the "Calculate" button - in the table below you will see the final result: the volume of the box in m 3. If you provided data on the number of boxes and the cost of delivery for calculations, then the plate will also show the total volume of cargo and the estimated amount of delivery.
• You can independently calculate the volume of packaging using the formula that is studied in mathematics lessons at school: V = a * b * h. Here V is the volume, a is the length, b is the width and h is the height (note: all data obtained during measurements must be converted from centimeters to meters). Just multiply these numbers and you will get the required volume of the box in cubic meters.

How to calculate the volume of a cylinder (pipe)?

Your goods will be packed in a cylindrical container, and you want to know the volume of cargo? The calculator will easily cope with this task. For calculations, you will need parameters such as the height of the container and its diameter. Use a ruler to measure, as in the case of a box, or ask the supplier for packaging parameters. Next, our calculator for calculating the volume will be used:

• mark the type of container (cylinder/pipe);
• enter the packaging parameters in the appropriate lines;
• indicate the number of pipes (if you know it);
• click the "Calculate" button.

Done: the calculator calculated the volume of cargo in a second! The table with the results shows the volume in cubic meters of both one pipe and the total volume of your cargo (if the number of packages was indicated).

For independent calculations and consolidation of knowledge gained at school, use the formula V=π*r 2 *h. As we remember, V denotes volume, π is the number "pi" equal to 3.14, r 2 is the radius of the pipe squared, and h is its height. Multiplying all the numbers, you get the volume of the container of a cylindrical shape. Do not forget: after measuring the radius of the pipe and its height, convert centimeters to meters - and then you will get the correct result in m 3.

How to calculate the volume of cargo in different containers?

It's good when the entire load has the same dimensions - the online volume calculator solves such problems in a matter of seconds. And how to calculate the volume of cargo if it is packed in containers of various shapes - large and small boxes and cylinders?

There is nothing complicated here, the main thing is to know the exact parameters of each type of container and its quantity. Our volume calculator in m 3 will help you quickly calculate the volume of cargo packed in containers of the same shape and size, after which all you have to do is add up all the numbers and get the total volume of your cargo.

How to calculate shipping cost?

Knowing the total volume of cargo in cubic meters, you can easily navigate the cost of delivery from China by various means of transport. To do this, use the calculation results provided by our Volume Calculator. In a special form located under the calculator, enter the received numbers in the "Volume" field. Select the delivery option (by sea, by air, by road, etc.), enter the points of departure and destination, and fill in other fields, then click the "Calculate" button. The system will automatically calculate the cost of shipping your cargo for the selected shipping option.

The most common question from customers is how to calculate the volume of cargo. The question is legitimate, since the choice of transport depends on the result of the calculation, and there is always the opportunity to choose a car from a cheaper range of models.

Each transport can carry a certain weight and cubic capacity, the parameters are usually indicated on the car body, but if you have any questions, you can always ask them to the managers of KVAD Logistics.

How to calculate the volume of cargo yourself?

If it is not difficult to weigh items for transportation, then certain problems arise with the calculation of volume.

Any object, if it occupies a separate space, has its maximum length, width and height in certain places. For example, if you are going to transport a statue, then it cannot be folded with some other object, thereby saving space. Therefore, its volume is considered separately. The width of the widest place is taken as the width, the height is considered from the floor to the highest point, the length is measured in a position perpendicular to the width vector parallel to the floor according to the same principle: the widest place is searched.

Items that can be nested in each other, for example, frames and corners, building blocks, can be considered as a single value, adding 20-30% to the volume for packaging and placement in the truck.

The calculation of the cargo volume is very simple: the length is multiplied by the width and by the height. The resulting figure is converted into square meters.

If the load is not heavy, then voluminous and fairly light structures, for example, furniture, can be taken away in a small truck with a low carrying capacity. If, in addition to volume, objects will have a lot of weight, more powerful transport will be needed.

After calculating the volume of all types of cargo, the volumes are summarized. The resulting value is multiplied by 1.3. Tolerance is required because the load cannot be placed side by side, unless they are boxes of the same size. The allowed space is allocated to the voids that are formed during loading of uneven cargo.

Of course, this is a very rough estimate. The packaged cargo will have different volumes, and the packaging itself, perhaps, will somehow make it possible to create more capacious dimensions.

How to calculate the volume of cargo correctly?

If you need to transport cargo over a long distance, entrust the calculations to determine the volume of cargo to the professionals of KVAD Logistics.

Since the cargoes are sent simultaneously by many clients of the company, it is possible to place compact cargoes in one transport, and overall and heavy ones in another. As a result, you will have to pay less, since the transportation costs will be distributed more evenly and among all participants in proportion to the weight and volume of the shipped products. You do not need to think about how to calculate the volume of cargo. We will carry out this procedure for you and select the most profitable transportation options for you.

They are the most common type of cardboard boxes in Ukraine. Such boxes are used for a variety of purposes - they have proven themselves equally well for packaging finished products, and for transport operations, and as a "container for everything in the world." At the same time, the range of goods and types of products that are packed in cardboard boxes is very extensive and varied. So, corrugated cardboard boxes are used for packing dimensional and oversized cargo, as well as cargo of various weights. This point is very important to understand before calculating the volume of the box you need.

Why is it important to know the exact volume of a rectangular box?

As we noted earlier, cardboard boxes are mainly used for the storage and transportation of goods and cargo. Imagine that you are engaged in the production of any product, while you can use just the same huge warehouse to store finished products, but we guarantee you that sooner or later you will not have enough space for the entire range of products. Or you are the owner of a store, for example, household goods. In any case, you will try to expand the range to increase sales and, as a result, profit - which means you just need to have at least a few copies of each item on hand, in the back room of the store. Both of these examples (large and medium-sized businesses) clearly show that without taking into account the total volume of packaged finished products, it is almost impossible to establish an uninterrupted operation of the enterprise - everything must fit and everything must be sold.

In addition to storage, knowing the volume of your packaged products will come in handy in the shipping process. It should be noted right away that the type of transport here should mean literally everyone - the transportation of packaged goods by road, by plane, by ship, and by rail is carried out based on two main parameters - the volume of cargo and its weight. At the same time, it does not matter which shipping company you choose to deliver your products - volume, as the main value for assessing the cargo and, as a result, the cost of its transportation, is used by both private and state transport and postal companies.

Calculation of the volume of standard boxes of rectangular and square shape

This type of volume calculation is perhaps the simplest, since we are all familiar with it from school. The volume in this case reflects the dimensions of the object in a three-dimensional plane and for any rectangular or square cardboard box will determine its capacity. To determine the volume, you need to perform a few simple calculations: measure the length, width and height of the box, and then multiply the resulting values. If you are going, knowing only the dimensions of the product or cargo that will be packed in it, then you should measure the dimensions of the cargo and add 5-10 millimeters to each of the values ​​\u200b\u200b(length, width, height), and then multiply the resulting values.

Now let's more clearly and step by step analyze these mathematical operations:

In the international measurement system, to calculate the volume of a rectangular or square object (in our case, a cardboard box), the formula is used: Vm3 = L x W x H

• V is, in fact, the volume that we need to calculate
• L - box length
• W - box width
• H - the height of the box (the term "depth" can also be used, which, in general, is the same thing)

Let's analyze this formula for calculating the volume of cardboard boxes using a specific example with explanations. Suppose you want to calculate the volume of a four-valve carton box for packaging, say, electronics and. How to do it? We answer.

To begin with, you should immediately decide which units of measurement you will use in your measurements - meters, centimeters or millimeters. It is important that all measurements of the parameters of your box are in the same value - in order to avoid inaccuracies and confusion. And the second important point is the internal and external dimensions of the box. To accurately measure the volume of a cardboard box, you need to figure out why you need the exact volume of this box. If you want to know the volume in order to accurately calculate the size of the cargo that will be packed into it, then use the internal dimensions. And if you need, in order to fill the vehicle body with products packed in such boxes as much as possible, then use the external dimensions.

This point is very important if you want to get accurate data without any margin of error.

We figured out the theory, now we turn to practical actions - we measure our box and calculate its volume.

Step #1

First you need to measure the length of the box. Look at the box from top to bottom and you will see that it has the shape of an equilateral rectangle. The longest side of the box is the length, denoted by the letter "L" (from the English "length" - length). Measure and record the result of the measurement somewhere - so as not to forget.

Step #2

Next, measure the width of our box. In any rectangular cardboard box, the shorter side is the width. According to the international measurement system, the width of a cardboard box is indicated by the letter "W" (from the English "width" - width). Measure and record the measurement result somewhere - so as not to forget. And remember about the same units of measurement for all measurements. For a square-shaped cardboard box, the “length” and “width” values ​​are the same, so you just need to measure one side of the corrugated cardboard box once and substitute the resulting size as both the length and the width of the box.

Step #3

We measure the height of our cardboard box. The height of a rectangular or square carton is usually the size of the side perpendicular to the flaps of the box. According to the international measurement system, the width of a cardboard box is indicated by the letter "H" (from the English "height" - height). The height of the cardboard box is taken as the distance from the top flap of the box to the bottom flap. Measure and record the measurement result somewhere - so as not to forget.

Step #4

Since all the quantities of interest to us have been determined and measured, we proceed directly to calculating the volume of interest to us for packaging electronics and electrical appliances.

According to the international measurement system, the volume of a cardboard box is indicated by the letter "V" (from the English "volume" - volume) and is calculated by multiplying the length, width and height of the box.

In the process of measurements, we found out that the size of the box, let's say, is 600 x 400 x 400 millimeters. Next, we substitute these values ​​into the formula: Vm3 = L x W x H.

We get:

600 x 400 x 400 \u003d 96000000 mm3, which in terms of cubic meters is - 0.096 m3.

Step #5

Now it remains only to convert the volume of the cardboard box from cubic meters to liters. If the indication of cubic units of volume allows you to understand how many such cubes can be placed inside the box, then the value in liters makes it possible to calculate the volume of the box for packing small and bulk goods and cargo, for example, groceries and various cereals.

1 m3 = 1000 liters

Substitute our values ​​into this formula and get:

0.096 m3 cardboard box = 96 liter corrugated cardboard box.

That, in fact, is all! Now you know how to calculate the volume of a rectangular or square cardboard box. In the final part of the article, the editors of the Express Packing online store will tell you how to calculate any volume. For example, the volume of a cardboard box with a complex die-cut shape, or self-assembly.

All measurements are in mm

H— Liquid level.

Y- Reservoir height.

L- The length of the container.

X- The tank is wide.

This program performs calculations of the volume of liquid in rectangular containers of various sizes, it will also help to calculate the surface area of ​​the tank, free and total volume.

As a result of the calculation, you will find out:

• The total area of ​​the tank;
• Lateral surface area;
• bottom area;
• Free volume;
• The amount of liquid;
• Capacity volume.

Technology for calculating the amount of liquid in tanks of various shapes

When the container has an irregular geometric shape (for example, in the form of a pyramid, parallelepiped, rectangle, etc.), it is necessary first of all to measure the internal linear dimensions and only after that to make calculations.

The calculation of the volume of liquid in a small rectangular container can be manually performed as follows. It is necessary to fill the entire tank with liquid to the brim. Then the volume of water in this case will be equal to the volume of the tank. Next, carefully drain all the water into separate containers. For example, in a special reservoir of the correct geometric shape or a measuring cylinder. On the measuring scale you can visually determine the volume of your tank. To calculate the amount of liquid in a rectangular container, it is best for you to use our online program, which will quickly and accurately perform all calculations.

If the reservoir is large and it is not possible to manually measure the amount of liquid, then the gas mass formula with a known molar mass can be used. For example, the mass of nitrogen is M = 0.028 kg / mol. These calculations are possible when the tank can be closed tightly (hermetically). Now, using a thermometer, we measure the temperature inside the tank, and the internal pressure with a manometer. Temperature must be expressed in Kelvin and pressure in Pascals. The volume of internal gas can be calculated using the following formula (V=(m∙R∙T)/(M∙P)). That is, we multiply the mass of the gas (m) by its temperature (T) and the gas constant (R). Next, the result should be divided into gas pressure (P) and molar mass (M). The volume will be expressed in m³.

How to calculate and find out the volume of an aquarium by size yourself

Aquariums are glass vessels that are filled with clean water to a certain level. Many aquarium owners have repeatedly thought about how large their tank is, how to perform calculations. The easiest and most reliable method is to use a tape measure and measure all the necessary parameters that should be entered into the appropriate cells of our calculator, and you will immediately get the finished result.

However, there is another way to determine the volume of the aquarium, which is a longer process, using a liter jar, gradually filling the entire container to the appropriate level.

The third method for calculating the volume of an aquarium is a special formula. We measure the depth of the tank, height and width in centimeters. For example, we got the following parameters: depth - 50 cm, height - 60 cm and width - 100 cm. According to these dimensions, the volume of the aquarium is calculated by the formula (V \u003d X * Y * H) or 100x50x60 \u003d 3,000,000 cm³. Next, we need to convert the result to liters. To do this, we multiply the finished value by 0.001. From here it follows - 0.001x3000000 centimeters, and we get, the volume of our tank will be 300 liters. We have calculated the total capacity of the tank, then we need to calculate the actual water level.

Each aquarium is filled much lower than its actual height, in order to avoid overflow of water, in order to cover it with a lid, taking into account the screed. For example, when our aquarium is 60 centimeters high, then the glued screeds will be located 3-5 centimeters lower. With our size of 60 centimeters, a little less than 10% of the volume of the container falls on 5 cm ties. From here we can calculate the real volume of 300 liters - 10% \u003d 270 liters.

Important! A few percent should be taken away, taking into account the volume of glasses, the size of the aquarium or any other container, we remove it from the outside (excluding the thickness of the glasses).

From here, the volume of our tank will be equal to 260 liters.

To accurately determine the time for concreting and the amount of consumable material, calculations should be made, this will help the online calculator for calculating the volume of concrete.

The concrete volume calculator will independently calculate the required amount of mortar for you, providing the most accurate numbers. Consumption is taken into account in cubic meters.

Calculate the volume of concrete foundation slab or screed

Calculator below produces calculation of concrete on a slab foundation in accordance with building codes and regulations. To calculate the slab foundation, it is necessary to know the area and thickness of the slab, because The plate is an ordinary rectangular parallelepiped.

The slab foundation is a closed reinforced concrete solid monolithic slab, which is laid under the entire area of ​​the house, thereby distributing the load along the entire length.

Enter your data in the fields for calculation:

Correctly calculating the cubic capacity of concrete in this case is much more difficult: we must multiply the length of the structure, which includes the perimeter from the outside and the length of all partitions between rooms, by its height and width (provided that the foundation tape has the same section along its entire length).

Be sure to take into account the depth of groundwater, landscape, soil and other factors when calculating the height of the foundation.

Calculation of the volume of concrete for foundation piles

Column and pile foundations use poles or piles as supports. This type of foundation is used for the construction of light buildings on intumescent soils or when the bearing layer is deep.

In a word, this is a very simple task and we are ready to suggest you the shortest way to solve it.

How to calculate the cubic capacity of concrete for the foundation?

In most cases, the volume of concrete is calculated by the cubic capacity of the formwork. That is, what is the volume of the inner part of the formwork, how much concrete should be ordered (or prepared).

Moreover, the cubic capacity of the formwork can be determined at the stage of calculations, according to the drawings and according to the data taken from the finished structure. Moreover, the last option will be a little more accurate than the first.

However, lovers of simple solutions can use a special calculator for calculating the cubature of the foundation - a special program that feeds the estimated dimensions of the base (length, width, height, wall thickness). As a result, users of the program receive not only an accurate calculation of the volume of mortar used, but also recommendations for self-preparation of concrete from cement sand and crushed stone.

As you can see, there are many ways to calculate the cubature of the base and the volume of mortar used to pour the foundation. And further in the text, we will give the simplest calculation methods adapted to specific base designs.

Calculation of the cubature of a monolithic slab

Such a base is a monolithic, rectangular parallelepiped, the edges of which can be measured according to the finished formwork or according to the drawings.

The volume of such formwork is calculated simply - for this you need to multiply the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe base of the foundation and the height of the formwork. In this case, the sole area is equal to the product of the width and length of the future grillage.

If we move from wording to numbers, then the cubic capacity of the foundation with grillage dimensions of 10x12 meters and a slab height of 0.4 meters is 48 cubic meters (10m x 12m x 0.4m = 48 m3).

Of course, with accurate calculations, it is required to subtract the cubic capacity of the reinforcing mesh from this volume, but such dimensions make such calculations meaningless.

Calculation of the cubature of the strip base

The tape base is the same rectangular parallelepiped, only with a hollow inner part. Moreover, elements for supporting interior partitions can also be located inside the base.

However, despite the slightly complicated form, the volume of the strip formwork can be calculated without much effort. To do this, you need to subtract from the volume of the rectangular parallelepiped formed by the outer walls of the formwork, the volumes of the same geometric figure formed by the inner walls of the formwork.

After that, to the result obtained, you can add the volumes of internal tapes that support interior partitions. Moreover, the transverse, internal tapes (relative to the front side of the facade) are considered as one parallelepiped, and the longitudinal ones - as two parallelepipeds adjacent to the transverse tape.

And if we move from formulas to numbers, then the base volumes of 10x12 meters with a tape width of 0.4 meters, buried in the ground by 2 meters and supplemented by one inner tape, 0.5 meters thick, are calculated as follows:

• We determine the volume of the outer parallelepiped 10m x 12m x 2m = 240 m3.
• We calculate the volume of the inner parallelepiped (10-0.4-0.4) m x (12-0.4-0.4) m x 2 m = 206.08 m3.
• We calculate the difference in volumes 240 m3 - 206.08 m3 \u003d 33.92 m3 - this is the volume that the tape has under the load-bearing walls of the building.
• The volumes of the inner tape are calculated simply (10-0.4-0.4) m x 0.5 m x 2 m = 9.2 m3.
• The total filling volume is 33.92 m3 + 9.2 m3 = 43.12 m3.

Calculation of the cubature of a columnar base

The cubature of a columnar base is defined as the sum of two geometric figures - a wide and low parallelepiped-base and a high and narrow parallelepiped-pillar.

The specified value is multiplied by the total number of pillars in the base, located along the perimeter of the facade in increments of 2 meters.
