To determine how many 80-pound bags of concrete are needed to fill a 55-gallon drum, first calculate the volume of the drum. A 55-gallon drum holds about 7.4 cubic feet (since 1 gallon is approximately 0.133 cubic feet). An 80-pound bag of concrete typically yields about 0.6 cubic feet. Therefore, you would need approximately 12 to 13 bags of concrete to fill the drum.
To determine how many 80 lb. bags of concrete mix are needed to fill an oil drum, first calculate the volume of the drum. A standard oil drum has a capacity of about 55 gallons, which is approximately 0.2 cubic meters or 7.4 cubic feet. Since an 80 lb. bag of concrete mix typically covers about 0.6 cubic feet, you would need roughly 12 to 13 bags to fill the drum completely.
Asphalt patch can be bought in bags or buckets at most lumber stores and builder's supplies. Many hardware stores also carry it. Follow the directions for it which are usually clean out all loose debris, dampen the edges and pound the stuff in.
To fill a 30-gallon drum with concrete, you would need approximately 12 bags of 80-pound concrete. This is based on the fact that one 80-pound bag of concrete yields about 0.6 cubic feet, and a 30-gallon drum holds about 4 cubic feet. Therefore, dividing 4 cubic feet by 0.6 cubic feet per bag gives you roughly 6.67 bags, but accounting for the weight and settling, it's safer to estimate around 12 bags.
That could be answered if we knew the volume of one 40-lb bag. Bags of leaves, styrofoam, beans, and gold all have vastly different volumes.
This is a hard to answer question. Asphalt shingle roofs come in many grades measured in life expectancy, like 10-year, 20-year, 30-year, and 45-year.
You'll typically see steel drum rollers and wheel rollers (9 wheel being the most common). Drum rollers do the more coarse work, while the wheel rollers are the ones which do the finishing.
Any number that you like: it depends how high the asphalt is stacked!
The amount of square feet in a ton of asphalt will depend on the thickness of the asphalt. If the asphalt is three inches thick it will have to cover the area three times. The type of asphalt used is also a factor towards weight.
The asphalt itself is, but if there are any cracks in as seems common, then water will get under. Cracks in asphalt can be sealed easily now with many good caulk products.
There is a company called APC, The Asphalt Paving Company. Other companies providing the same service are John R. Hulrley Asphalt, Avery Asphalt, Asphalt Coatings Company, Seal Coat Specialties. There are many others located in Colorado.
You needed to specify to what depth the asphalt is being laid.
