Calculate the Total Volume of Class A Concrete Mix Required for a Covered Court
What is the total volume of Class A concrete mix required for the concrete slab?
A proposed covered court has a general dimension of 18.0 meters wide and 30 meters long. The concrete slab on grade covers the entire area of the covered court. If the thickness of the concrete slab is 150mm, what is the total volume of Class A concrete mix required?
Final Answer:
The total volume of Class A concrete mix required for the concrete slab is 81 cubic meters.
To calculate the volume of Class A concrete mix required for the concrete slab, we need to use the formula:
Volume = Area x Thickness
Given that the dimensions of the covered court are 18.0 meters wide and 30 meters long, we can calculate the area of the concrete slab:
Area = Width x Length
Area = 18.0m x 30m = 540 square meters
The thickness of the concrete slab is given as 150mm. To convert this to meters, we divide by 1000:
Thickness = 150mm / 1000 = 0.15 meters
Now, we can calculate the volume of concrete:
Volume = Area x Thickness
Volume = 540 square meters x 0.15 meters = 81 cubic meters
Therefore, the total volume of Class A concrete mix required for the concrete slab is 81 cubic meters.
