	The easy way to calculate the volume of concrete in any foundation is length x width x height. Perhaps engineering is not your calling. __________________ Bruce

	Volume or weight? Volume - Bruce is right. Weight? Compute the volume in cubic feet and multiply by 145 pcf, unless using lightweight concrete or specialty mix.
