Best Answer

A pound (Lb) is a unit of measurement for weight while a yard is a unit of measurement for distance. I think you have your question mixed up!

If you need to make any conversions, I suggest the following site

http://www.onlineconversion.com/ If you are refering to common measurements used on a construction site, a "yard" is a common abbreviation for a "cubic yard", which is a unit of measurement of volume. (A cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet.) In common usage, you may be asking what does a "cubic yard" of something like dirt or concrete weigh? Since dirt weighs about 110 pounds per cubic feet, a cubic yard of dirt weighs about 2970 Lbs. Since concrete is heavier (150 pcf), a cubic yard of concrete weighs about 4050 Lbs.

A yard is a measure of length and a pound is a measure of weight (mass). That does not come together.
