Best Answer

Typically a ready mix concrete weighs anywhere from 135 lbs to 160 lbs per cubic foot. The weight varies widely due to the different densities of the aggregates that are used in concrete mixes. Lightweight aggregates such as expanded shale can be used to significantly reduce weight but there is some sacrifice in strength taking this approach. Typically the denser the concrete and aggregates the higher the strength and weight.
