You are freaking awesome thank you for taking the time to teach this, it was much needed

[@ColfaxMath]

Thank you, glad it was helpful

[@micaelagomez363]

Thanks, I didn't get it at once, so I went through the Video twice, and got a much better understanding. I appreciate your time and efforts to educate on this subject: cheers

[@ColfaxMath]

Thank you

[@borislink9927]

This is the best explanation ever. Thank you

[@ColfaxMath]

Great, thank you. Glad it was helpful

[@SkateboarderOnTheInternet]

SERIOUSLY JUST TOOK A CONCRETE AND ESTIMATE COURSE AND I WAS LOST THIS HELP SO MUCH

[@ColfaxMath]

@@SkateboarderOnTheInternet great to hear

[@chileask753]

Thank you so much man seriously wish u the best outcomes in life great teacher !

[@ColfaxMath]

Thank you

[@milvinelandag6057]

Thank you for teach cubic yard

[@ColfaxMath]

Thank you for supporting the channel

[@stevenjones7813]

That helped a lot. I have trouble with the odd numbered measurements. Like if the depth is 7" or 14" something like that.

[@ColfaxMath]

Glad it helped

[@jay-isaaccantu487]

Where is the 3ft coming from, I’m lost

[@ColfaxMath]

There are 3 feet in a yard

[@samaritanmusic4636]

Learn alot, GOD bless you

[@ColfaxMath]

Glad to hear it, thank you

[@HophniLumaniso]

Good lesson,so calculate concrete order per room which is in 6 metres

[@ColfaxMath]

Thank you

[@briangonzalez4662]

We poured concrete today to the lowest point in an irregular round pool. We were short by a lot. How would one calculate the yards for concrete to be poured in this case? My guess is that we would get the longest point for width, length, & depth right?

[@ColfaxMath]

That sounds like a good way to do it.

[@junaidnatureexplores6461]

Thanks it really helped me ❤

How do I estimate how many cubic yards of concrete I need for a swimming pool? I understand how to convert square feet to cubic yards but I am confused with the math behind the construction of a swimming pool. If someone could provide me with the formula. That would help me a lot.
Another way I ask my question is as follows. For example, a pool is 45 feet in length, 15 feet in width and the concrete is 0.6 inches in depth. The pool’s shallow end is 4 feet, and the deep end gradually declines to 12 feet deep. (Ignore the steps and possible ledges in the pool, i got that figured out).
Thank you to anyone that responds.

[@ColfaxMath]

I'm not to sure how concrete for pools work.

[@SkateboarderOnTheInternet]

What’s the thickness of the coat you spray on the wall?

[@Etheral_Fire]

Wait, are the 6' thick footing the woodboards?

[@ColfaxMath]

6 inch

This is a great video

[@isaiahisrael421]

150' long by 80' wide by 35' high. What is it's square footage?

[@ColfaxMath]

It would be cubic footage with three dimensions

[@Giggidygiggidy12]

Awesome vid, how would one calc a footing for a retaining wall where we are talking inches mainly? For example a 20ft long wall 18in wide(toe and heel) and 12in deep??

[@ColfaxMath]

All units have to be the same, I would convert the inches into feet. So 18 inches is 18/12 of a foot or 1.5 feet.

[@anthonyramirez1757]

I was going to ask the same thing actually. Haha I’m looking to get the yards for a footing that had inches mainly. So thank you.

[@anthonyramirez1757]

Thank you! I was thinking everything had to be converted into ft. You know sometimes I doubt myself and I really shouldn’t 😅

[@ColfaxMath]

@@anthonyramirez1757 glad it helped

[@amiriqbal0822]

Chang 18 inch to ft

[@FloppyJellyRoll]

Thank you very much

[@kimberlyrodriguez580]

How many yards of concrete do I need for an 8’x8’x8” slab?

[@ColfaxMath]

8x8x(8/12) all divided by 27 gives you about 1.6 yards

[@kimberlyrodriguez580]

@@ColfaxMath thank you so much !!

[@sherevejohnson9422]

How do you calculate face stairs. 5 steps .. face is 7" 1/4 and 1ft step ... I know for 4" you divide by 80 and 6" is 50. How would I calculate those measurements

[@wwmoon101]

14 yards for driveway with a apron how many yards of concrete ...?? I appreciate u ...

[@ColfaxMath]

Not sure of the question

[@ValeCabron]

Im pouring a 10’x4’x3.5” slab. How many 50lb bags quickcrete do I need ? Or how many yards I need to order.TIA

[@ColfaxMath]

It is about 12 cubic feet, yards would be 12/27

[@ValeCabron]

@@ColfaxMath thank you sir

[@viisteist1363]

is it possible to mix/pour/order different grades of concrete if i need to pour a separate border/foundation around the whole perimeter, then the whole floor inside it, and some part of the inner floor even has to be thicker and higher grade than the rest of the floor in there? aka some parts need to take bigger loads later etc... and the outer perimeter probably gets some walls on top of it later etc...

[@ColfaxMath]

I would think you can do multiple pours, if it is under different loads, should be engineered

[@carlitosinvegas6015]

Great Video thanks

[@ColfaxMath]

Thank you

i was more after how to work out sand gravel concrete from the mass

[@joshblubaugh6050]

I wanted to learn how to throw a great birthday for a toddler. So we’re both disappointed. ☹️

[@ColfaxMath]

I'll try to get around to making one on that
