To calculate the weight of a cubic yard of soil, simply multiply its volume by its density.
How heavy is 1m3 of soil?
How much does a cubic meter of soil weigh? Soil weight can vary widely depending on how much water it contains. A cubic meter of medium-moist soil (freshly excavated) weighs between 1.3 and 1.7 tons when excavated, depending on its density.
What is the unit weight of the floor?
The unit weight of a mass of soil is the ratio of the total weight of the soil to the total volume of the soil. Unit weight, g, is normally determined in the laboratory by measuring the weight and volume of a relatively undisturbed sample of soil obtained from a brass ring.
