Concrete Calculator for Cylinders

This concrete calculator for cylindrical volumes. It calculates the concrete volume for cylinder structures. It has options for calculating in SI and imperial units. It also has options for calculation for solid cylindrical structures as well as hollow cylindrical structures.

The types of hollow and solid cylindrical concrete structures are as follows-

Here’s a list of examples for each type:

🔹 Hollow cylindrical concrete structures

• Concrete pipes (for sewage, drainage, or culverts)
• Precast concrete columns with hollow cores (often used for weight reduction and conduit routing)
• Concrete chimneys or flue stacks
• Bridge piers with hollow shafts (reduces material usage and dead load)
• Cooling tower shells at power plants (hyperboloid shape, but cylindrical near the base)
• Concrete water tanks or silos (vertical storage)
• Utility vaults or manholes (often with cylindrical hollow shape)
• Concrete caissons (used in deep foundations or underwater construction)

🔹 Solid cylindrical concrete structures

• Solid bridge piers or columns
• Precast concrete bollards
• Monument or memorial columns
• Solid pile foundations (cast-in-place or precast)
• Support pedestals for heavy equipment
• Solid cylindrical counterweights (e.g., in cranes or lifts)
• Architectural decorative columns without cores
