Core Fill Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Core Fill (CF) is:

\[ CF = \pi r^2 \times D \]

Where:

\( CF \) is the core fill (ft³)
\( r \) is the radius (ft)
\( D \) is the depth of the core (ft)

What is Core Fill?

Core Fill refers to the volume of material required to fill a cylindrical core. It is commonly used in construction and engineering to determine the amount of concrete or other materials needed to fill cylindrical spaces such as columns or drilled shafts.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Radius (r) = 1 ft
Depth (D) = 5 ft

Using the formula to calculate the Core Fill:

\[ CF = \pi \times (1)^2 \times 5 \approx 3.14 \times 1 \times 5 = 15.71 \text{ ft}^3 \]

The Core Fill is approximately 15.71 ft³.
