Circle Concrete Calculator
This circle concrete calculator handles round slabs — fire-pit surrounds, tank pads, gazebo bases and circular patios. Enter the diameter and thickness; the πr² math is built in.
Comment utiliser ce calculateur
- Saisissez vos dimensions — pieds pour les longueurs, pouces pour l'épaisseur.
- Ajustez les options — pourcentage de perte, taille du sac et prix local du béton.
- Lisez vos résultats — le volume, les sacs, le poids et le coût se mettent à jour en direct.
La formule
Circle volume = π × (diameter ÷ 2)² × thickness Exemple résolu : A 10 ft round pad at 4 in: π × 5² × 0.333 = 26.2 ft³ ÷ 27 ≈ 0.97 yd³.
A concrete calculator round pours need starts from area: A = πr². Measure the diameter (the full width across the center) — it's easier to tape than the radius and this tool halves it for you.
Rule of thumb from the concrete calculator circle math: a round slab uses 78.5% of the concrete of the square that contains it. A 12 ft circle ≈ 0.785 × a 12 × 12 ft square.
For vertical round elements — columns, piers, sonotubes — use the column or sonotube calculators, which extend this same circle area into height.
Foire aux questions
Questions courantes sur le circle concrete calculator.
How much concrete for a round slab?
π × (diameter ÷ 2)² × thickness. A 12 ft circle at 4 in: π × 36 × 0.333 = 37.7 ft³ ≈ 1.40 yd³.
Do I enter diameter or radius?
Diameter — the full distance across. The calculator divides by 2 internally to get the radius.
How do I mark out a circular slab?
Drive a pin at the center, tie a string at half your diameter, and scribe the circle. Form with hardboard or flexible plastic edging.
What about a half-circle pour?
Calculate the full circle here and divide the result by two — waste allowance unchanged.
