Best Answer

It is difficult to say exactly what the weight of the soil is, which depends on the composition; but an estimate per the related link is around 1500 pounds per cubic yard. This converts to 1 cubic yard of soil weighs 1500/2000 tons or 3/4 ton. So, a ton of soil will be approximately 4/3 or 1 1/3 cubic yards.

What measurements is soil sold in?

Bulk soil units are cubic yards.


Weight of 40 yard dump truck Weight loaded with 40 yards of soil Weight loaded with 40 yards of concrete?

Don't know the weight of the truck alone -- google it. Concrete (wet) could be assumed to be 145 pounds per cubic foot, and there are 27 cubic feet in one cubic yard. Compacted damp to dry soil (at "optimum moisture" for compacting) might run around 110 to 120 pounds per cubic foot, and loose soil would be considerably less (assuming it's dry and not saturated).

To convert one of these yards to weight, look up the density in lbs/cu.ft. , then multiply by 27.

How many cubic yards of soil can a quint-axle end dump truck hold?

The number of cubic yards that quint axle end dump truck could hold depends on the relative weight of the soil. Generally, soil weighs 2,000 to 2,700 pounds per yard. Since the capacity on the rear axles may be as much as 50,000 pounds, about 20 to 20 yards of soil could be carried by this type of truck.

1.5 cubic feet of soil is how many pounds?

The weight of soil can vary depending on its composition and moisture content. However, as a general guideline, the average weight of dry soil is approximately 75 pounds per cubic foot. Therefore, to calculate the weight of 1.5 cubic feet of soil, you can multiply the weight per cubic foot (75 pounds) by the volume (1.5 cubic feet): Weight = Volume × Weight per cubic foot Weight = 1.5 cubic feet × 75 pounds per cubic foot Weight = 112.5 pounds So, approximately 1.5 cubic feet of soil would weigh around 112.5 pounds. Keep in mind that this is an average estimation and the actual weight can vary depending on the specific characteristics of the soil.
