Concrete Weight Guide

Weight by Type

Standard concrete weighs about 150 lbs per cubic foot or 2.03 tons per cubic yard. Lightweight concrete weighs 90-115 lbs per cubic foot depending on aggregate used.

  • Standard: 150 lbs/cu ft.
  • Lightweight: 90-115 lbs/cu ft.
  • Heavyweight: 200+ lbs/cu ft.

Structural Considerations

Concrete weight matters for structural design. A 4-inch slab weighs about 50 lbs per square foot. Factor concrete weight when designing foundations and elevated slabs.

  • 4" slab: ~50 lbs/sq ft.
  • 6" slab: ~75 lbs/sq ft.
  • Important for structural design.

Hauling Limits

A standard mixer truck carries 8-10 cubic yards (16-20 tons). Bridge and road weight limits may restrict loads. Confirm with your ready-mix supplier.
