Calculating Concrete Yardage for Footings

[rolando]

Before i install the rebar grade beam i times six beers plus a bump of powder times these nuts

Love your channel brother.
Definitely have saved me a shit ton of time! Be safe out there! MENTAL MIDGETS ARE EVERYWHERE!!!!

[carlosrojas]

So the way I do it is find the volume of the beam and divide by 27
Volume= Length x width x height/27
27 is the amount of square feet per yard of concrete. Hope it helps

[davidross]

I think he took the volume of 1’ of beam
1.5x1.33x1=1.995 then divided it by 27 cf per yard 1.995/27=.07388 (rounded up to .074

[adanr]

18x16 is .074? Or did you divide that?

[RJ-lkpj]

Concrete calculator will figure out the yards 👍🏻

This dude is tripping! Too early for this kind of language 🤓🤓

[lorirolfe]

That only helps if you can explain those numbers.

See that kids. Do your maths at school because all trades need to know maths. Not big time but basic multiplication, addition and division is essential. U don't have to be an expert. Just good basic maths

Do all your workers hold OSHA cards for state bid work?
I have OSHA 10
I did have my CDL, I let it lapse though, used to drive and operate a International panel boom truck for the company I worked for.
Actually started when all we had was a rack truck.
I really do miss it.
Applied to multiple companies, no luck, could never figure that out.
Might be my first impression or attitude, cock sure of myself, rubs people the wrong way, but I worked, no breaks, no lunches during a pour, no whining, strip till it's done, the sooner the better.
Stripped footings, 4 footers, 6 footers and 8s on my own.
And I have a Bachelor's degree in computer science, held jobs in that field also.
The owners I worked for would 100% vouch for me but, the hiring managers that have never done it, judge.
I live in the Northeast currently.
I could give you 1 name and number as a ref.

Length times width divided by 81 why do people make this so difficult?

[foundationsrus]

Like the way he uses English inches & then pretend it's metric measurement 😂😂😂

[makius]

"Add1.5cy for bad grade" lol! No love for the operators eh? 😂

[stevewilliams]

Yeah but show how ! Young men who know nothing and see this and want to know the how have many questions

[darrelljohnson]

Construction master 5 can be downloaded for 15 bucks. You don't have to do grandpa mad, although it is correct.

[waynehall]

They used to pass out slide rules to calculate concrete.Thats what I use.

[Ken-dk]

My name is Ken what's with all the decimal sht...lol
And then you you come up with cys...wrong...it should be in decimal format???

[codykoch]

Stop 🛑 making this so difficult it’s not
