Material | Specific Gravity | Lbs/Cu. Ft |
Concrete, Asphalt | 2.24 | 140 |
Concrete, Gravel | 2.40 | 150 |
Concrete, Limestone w/Portland | 2.37 | 148 |
The weight of a batch of concrete varies with its composition, but a typical concrete mix about 150 pounds per cubic foot (pcf). Specific gravity is the ratio of the weight of a cubic foot of a material to the weight of a cubic foot of water, which is 62.4 pcf. Therefore, the specific gravity of a typical concrete mix is 150/62.4 or 2.40.
