How to calculate the quantity of sand & aggregate in different type of truck, dumper or haiwa

In the following construction video tutorial, you will learn some useful tips to calculate the quantity of sand, aggregate in truck, haiwa etc.

The vehicles come in different sizes and shapes. Given below, the step-by-step procedures to calculate the quantity of materials in these vehicles.

Dumper length L1 = 5.5 m, L2 = 4.5 m

Dumper width = 1.5 m

Dumper height = 1.7 m

Dumper volume = Length x Breadth x Height

Dumper volume = (5.5 + 4.5)/2 x 1.5 x 1.7 = 10/2 x 1.5 x 1.7 = 5 x 1.5 x 1.7 = 12.75 m³

Similarly for dumper with L1 = 6 m, L2 = 5.5 m, width B = 1.7 m and height H = 2 m

Dumper volume = (6 + 5.5)/2 x 1.7 x 2 = 11.5/2 x 1.7 x 2 = 5.75 x 1.7 x 2 = 19.55 m³
