Pile Weight Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Pile Weight.

PW = PV * PD

Variables:

  • PW is the Pile Weight (lbs)
  • PV is the pile volume (ft^3) 
  • PD is the pile density (lb/ft^3) 

How to Calculate Pile Weight?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Pile Weight.

  1. First, determine the pile volume (ft^3). 
  2. Next, determine the pile density (lb/ft^3). 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = PW = PV * PD.
  4. Finally, calculate the Pile Weight.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

pile volume (ft^3) = 10

pile density (lb/ft^3) = 12

PW = PV * PD = ?
