Understanding Concrete Yield Percentage
How we calculate. Yield % = placed/measured volume ÷ batched volume × 100. The form uses the same arithmetic as the worked examples on this page. See our methodology and accuracy policy.
Real-world scenario: A typical Concrete Yield Percentage case uses placed volume 96 and batched volume 100. Enter the same figures below to reproduce the worked path.
What is Concrete Yield Percentage?
A materials control KPI for pours. Distinct from material waste % (scrap/waste of issued goods)—yield focuses on volume reconciliation.
- Same volume unit
- Batched = ticketed plant volume
- Investigate yields well below 100%
The Formula
Worked Example
Common Use Cases
- Pour reports: ticket vs place
- Cost control: short yields
- QA: volume discrepancies
Pro Tips
- Account for pump line leftovers
- Use consistent measurement method
- Pair with material waste %
Limitations: Concrete Yield Percentage results are educational construction planning aids—not engineering, safety, legal, or cost-estimating advice. Confirm definitions with your project controls, safety, and contract documents. For earned-value SPI/CPI see the Professional hub.
FAQ
Can yield exceed 100%?
Sometimes measurement error or over-excavation makes placed volume look high—verify survey and ticket data.
What if batched volume is 0?
Yield % is undefined—enter a positive batched volume.
