Concrete for a strip foundation

For a strip footing, concrete volume is based on the total strip length (perimeter), width and depth. The calculator is pre-set for a typical 30 m × 0.4 m × 0.6 m strip — get concrete volume in m³, plus formwork and PE film.

Enter your own dimensions; you can switch to cement, sand and gravel if mixing concrete yourself.

Concrete volume example

An 8 × 6 m slab at 120 mm thickness has a net volume of 5.76 m³. When ordering ready-mix, allow a small reserve for dimensional variation, pumping losses and an uneven base; the calculator lets you change this allowance.

For strip foundations enter the total length of every section, actual width and concrete depth. Concrete class, reinforcement, cover and movement joints cannot be determined by a volume calculator alone.

  • Re-measure the formwork before ordering.
  • Coordinate volume with truck capacity and pump logistics.
  • Use site-mix proportions only for non-structural work or where specified by the design.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert millimetres to metres?

Divide millimetres by 1000. For example, 120 mm = 0.12 m.

How much concrete reserve is needed?

A few percent is often enough for a simple accurately formed element. Uneven bases or complex formwork may need more.

Does the calculator choose the concrete class?

No. Strength class, consistency, frost resistance and other properties are set by the design and exposure conditions.
