1 Mark the area that will need concrete and divide it into smaller areas. 2  Calculate its volume of the area after determining the shape of the area (see chart below) by multiplying in the height.  Convert the volume from feet to cubic yards to get the number of cubic yards of concrete youâll need.
How to Calculate Asphalt Weight Per Yard. 1  Measure the space to be paved using a tape measure and then calculate the area of the project space in square feet. 2  Determine the project dimensions in cubic feet by multiplying the calculated area by the depth. 3  Convert cubic feet to cubic yards. Because there are 27 cubic feet per cubic yard, you will divide your total cubic feet by 27. This gives you the volume of asphalt you will need.
