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.

Como usar esta calculadora

  1. Insira suas dimensões — pés para comprimentos, polegadas para a espessura.
  2. Ajuste as opções — porcentagem de desperdício, tamanho do saco e o preço local do concreto.
  3. Leia seus resultados — volume, sacos, peso e custo são atualizados ao vivo enquanto você digita.

A fórmula

Circle volume = π × (diameter ÷ 2)² × thickness

Exemplo resolvido: 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.

Perguntas frequentes

Perguntas comuns sobre a 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.
