Concrete Curb Calculator

This concrete curb calculator (kerb calculator outside North America) computes curb-and-gutter volumes from the standard cross-section: curb face plus gutter flag, multiplied along the run.

Como usar esta calculadora

  1. Insira suas dimensões — pés para comprimentos, polegadas para a espessura.
  2. Ajuste as opções — porcentagem de desperdício, tamanho do saco e o preço local do concreto.
  3. Leia seus resultados — volume, sacos, peso e custo são atualizados ao vivo enquanto você digita.

A fórmula

Volume = [curb depth × (curb height + flag thickness) + gutter width × flag thickness] × length

Exemplo resolvido: A 6×6 in curb with 12 in gutter at 6 in thick over 50 ft: [0.5×1 + 1×0.5] × 50 = 50 ft³ ≈ 1.85 yd³.

Curb and gutter is priced and poured by the linear foot, but ordered by the cubic yard — this calculator bridges the two. The standard 6-inch curb with 12-inch gutter runs almost exactly 1 ft³ per linear foot.

Using this as a concrete kerb calculator? Same geometry: a British 125 × 255 mm kerb bedded on concrete uses the curb-only mode (set gutter width to 0) plus your haunching allowance.

Curb work is formed tight and screeds clean, so 5% waste usually suffices on machine pours; hand-formed radius work merits 10%.

Perguntas frequentes

Perguntas comuns sobre a concrete curb calculator.

How much concrete per foot of curb and gutter?

The standard 6 in curb + 12 in gutter section uses ≈ 1 ft³ per linear foot — so 27 linear feet per cubic yard.

What's the difference between curb and kerb?

Spelling only — curb (US) and kerb (UK/AU/NZ). The volume math is identical; enter your section dimensions in inches or centimeters.

Can I calculate curb without a gutter?

Yes — set gutter width to 0 and the tool computes the curb prism alone: depth × height × length.

What mix is used for curbs?

Typically 3,500–4,000 psi (M25–M30) with air entrainment in freeze-thaw climates; slip-formed curb uses a very low-slump version of the same mix.
