27 cubic feet = 1 cubic yard
Volume = (14-ft x 14-ft x 1-ft) = 196 cubic feet = 7.26 cubic yards (rounded)
To calculate the volume of dirt needed to fill the area, you would need to know the depth of the area in yards. If the depth is 3 yards, then you would need 1800 yards of dirt (600 cubic yards ÷ 3 yards). If the depth is 1 yard, then you would need 600 yards of dirt.
After the hole has been dug, all the dirt that was in the dimensions given has been removed.
To calculate the volume of the area, multiply the length, width, and height: 120 x 92 x 24 = 331,776 cubic inches. To convert cubic inches to cubic yards (since 1 cubic yard = 46,656 cubic inches), divide 331,776 by 46,656 to get approximately 7.1 cubic yards of dirt needed to fill the area.
You are mixing volume (square yard) and area (length x width). How deep do you want the dirt? One foot deep you need about 80 square yards of dirt.
133.33 cubic yards, that's 400 feet
None. Just build the baseball field where the dirt is already there.
To raise 1 acre by 8 inches, you would need approximately 2,722 cubic yards of dirt. This calculation is based on the formula for volume of a rectangular prism (length x width x height) multiplied by the area of 1 acre in square yards (43,560 square feet).
2.37 cubic yards of dirt is needed to fill an 8'X4' that is 24" deep garden box. If the box is filled 12 inches, the amount of soil needed is 1.19 cubic yards and that should be deep enough for most vegetables.
the way we measure dirt quantities is we do a topo with TOPCOM equipment. But, if that is not available you can always measure to get an area and then multiply by the height and then divide by 27 to get cubic yards. That is how ge use to get dirt quantities. There are also online tools available for consumers and contractors that provide a quick, easy, and accurate calculation to determine exactly how much dirt/material you need, or need to get rid of.
11 cubic yards of planting mix converted to how many tons?
Approximately 7,260 yards. You need 6 yards of soil per 1000 square feet for 2"
You find the square footage of the total area....40 X 60=2400 square feet. Then convert that to cubic yards by dividing by 27....(27 cubic feet per cubic yard) 2400 divided by 27= 85.1 cu. yards To raise the area by one foot, this would be the end of the calculation. If you were to only want to raise an area by 4 inches lets say....then you would multiply 85.1 by .33 or one third of a foot. (for 6 inches you would multiply by .50 or 1/2 foot) NOW, you have to take into account compaction or loss. When figuring concrete, allow up to 10%. When figuring dirt (depending on how sandy etc.) rule of thumb is to allow UP TO 1/3 for compaction. In your question above, allow for 1/3 and you would need another 28 yards (cu. yards). This would figure as 85.1 X.33 and would equal roughly another 28 yards. So, the total needed would be 85 cu. yds (85 rounded) PLUS 28 .....or a total of 113 cu. yards.
