Soil Stockpile Volume Calculator

Do you want to calculate the volume of soil in a stockpile to know how much soil you have or need? It is useful for construction, landscaping, and agricultural projects.

For calculation enter the values into the Soil Stockpile Volume Calculator as radius at base (ft), and height (ft) and press calculate button. It will display soil stockpile volume.

For advance level calculation, turn advance mode on enter top radius (ft), base radius (ft) and height (ft) into the calculator to know frustum volume.

The Soil Stockpile Volume Calculator uses the radius of the base and the height of the pile to calculate the volume of soil. It can help you to easily and accurately determine the amount of soil in a stockpile, which is important for planning and resource management.

Calculator Using Guide

Using the calculator is simple:

Enter the Radius (R): Input the radius at the base of the pile in feet. This is half the width or length of the base.
Enter the Height (H): Input the height of the stockpile in feet.
Calculate the Soil Stockpile Volume (SSV): The calculator will use these inputs to compute the volume in cubic feet.

Formula

The formula to calculate the soil stockpile volume is:

SSV = \frac{1}{3} \times \pi \times R^2 \times H

SSV	$is the soil stockpile volume (cubic feet)$
R	$is the radius at the base of the pile (feet)$
H	is the height of the stockpile (feet)

How the Tool Calculate Input Values

See following examples to see how the calculator works.

Example 1: Basic Calculation

Radius (R): 10 feet
Height (H): 15 feet

Using the formula:

$SS V = 3 1 \times π \times R^{2} \times H$

SSV = \frac{1}{3} \times \pi \times 10^2 \times 15

SSV = \frac{1}{3} \times \pi \times 100 \times 1

SSV = \frac{1}{3} \times 4712.39

SSV = 1570.80 \text{ cubic feet}

So, the soil stockpile volume is 1570.80 cubic feet.

Example 2: Advanced Calculation

Radius (R): 20 feet
Height (H): 25 feet

Using the formula:

SSV = \frac{1}{3} \times \pi \times R^2 \times H

SSV = \frac{1}{3} \times \pi \times 20^2 \times 25

SSV = \frac{1}{3} \times \pi \times 400 \times 25

SSV = \frac{1}{3} \times 31415.93

SSV = 10471.98 \text{ cubic feet}

So, the soil stockpile volume is 10471.98 cubic feet.

FAQs

Q1: Why is it important to calculate the volume of stockpile soil?
