Calculate the volume of concrete in cubic yards you will need.

Slab With Thickened Edge

Calculates cubic yards of concrete required - does not deduct material for the perimeter notch.

Building Width:
ft

Enter the building width. For these calculations. Trachte building foundations are designed with a slab that overhangs 1" on all sides. The calculator will add this in for you.

Building Length:
ft

Enter the building length. For these calculations. Trachte building foundations are designed with a slab that overhangs 1" on all sides. The calculator will add this in for you.

Slab Thickness:
in

Enter the slab thickness here. Most commonly this is 4 or 5 inches.

Cubic Yards Required:
Additional For Thickened Edge:
Total for Standard Floating Slab (cubic yards):
+ Trenchwall (if required)

Wall Thickness:
in

Enter thickness of trenchwall. Check your permit set, building plans, or consult with Trachte Regional Manager to determine specs for your project.

Depth From Top of Slab:
in

Enter depth of trenchwall, typically your region's frost depth. Check your permit set, building plans, or consult with your Trachte Regional Manager to determine specs for your project.

Cubic Yards for Trenchwall:
+ Frostwall With Footing (if required)

Footing Width:
in

Footing width is typically 16" if needed. You may change this figure if your plans indicate something different.

Footing Height:
in

Footing hieght is typically 8" if needed. You may change this figure if your plans indicate something different.
