Mathematicians apply here....

As usual, there's another project on the go Down-Under. It will require copious amounts of concrete, blood sweat and tears. Exactly how much concrete? Please, you tell me.



Your name will be inscribed in wet concrete for posterity, erm, probably not lol, more like a dogsters paw print.

shed: 0.126 m^3
water tanks: 1.5105 m^3
the x2 pieces: 1.52 m^3

total: 3.1565 m^3

i noobed up. duh

Garden Shed length x width x depth
4.45 cubic feet or 0.165 cubic yards or 0.126 cubic meters
if pre-mixed concrete*, it is 592 lbs or 268 kgs
if 60 lbs per bag, it is 9.86 bags
if 80 lbs per bag, it is 7.40 bags

Water Tanks
Main Slab as a rectangle length x width x depth
56.4 cubic feet or 2.09 cubic yards or 1.60 cubic meters
if pre-mixed concrete*, it is 7.50e+3 lbs or 3.40e+3 kgs
if 60 lbs per bag, it is 125 bags
if 80 lbs per bag, it is 93.7 bags

Tiny Corner Slab as a rectangle length x width x depth
6.04 cubic feet or 0.224 cubic yards or 0.171 cubic meters
if pre-mixed concrete*, it is 803 lbs or 364 kgs
if 60 lbs per bag, it is 13.4 bags
if 80 lbs per bag, it is 10.0 bags

Main Slab LESS Half of the Corner Slab
Half the corner slab is 0.171 cubic metres divided by two = 0.0855 cubic metres
Main water slab @ 1.60 cubic metres less 0.0855 cubic metres = 1.5145 cubic metres

X2 Slabs rectangle length x width x depth (this is for each)
26.8 cubic feet or 0.994 cubic yards or 0.760 cubic meters
if pre-mixed concrete*, it is 3.57e+3 lbs or 1.62e+3 kgs
if 60 lbs per bag, it is 59.5 bags
if 80 lbs per bag, it is 44.6 bags

Thanks gents. Two different answers, although they are very close. If I read Dan's answer correctly, it is 3.246 cubic m^3. The other answer is 3.1565 cubic m^3.
I figure if I order a mini-mixer with just over 3.4 cubic m^3 It will be allow for any differences in depth of the slabs and allow for a spoon drain in front of the slab with the angle on it.
There's a lot to do before I do that, the two 10,000 gallon tanks are sitting on fine crushed rock right now and the huge amount of rain recently has eroded some of that away. The tanks will have to be drained, moved off the site, and then the site has to be dug out, and form-work built to contain the slabs. Not looking forward to it. :-/

I should try and post some of the stuff my dad did to our gardens over the years. His hobby.... is digging holes.

Not Golf. Not Football.

Just a bit of F1. A shovel. A Skip. Lots of soil.

LOL, sounds like what I've been doing.

The answer is 3.1565m squared, I don't know why n00binho's claiming he stuffed it up. I also politely have nfi what dan's talking about.

i got some different numbers at first and edited my post to plug in the correct answer, my comment on noobing up just refers to my initial answer.

Here's the killer question though, how much blood, sweat and tears will be required? Im sure you can calculate it based on various physical parameters.

Either way... GOOD LUCK!
