How much does a cubic yard of concrete weigh?
About 4,050 lb (2 short tons). This is the standard rule of thumb for load planning. The figure varies from roughly 4,000 to 4,050 lb/yd³ with the mix and moisture content, so different tools may use slightly different values.
How heavy is a 4-inch slab per square foot?
50 lb per square foot (150 lb/ft³ x 4/12 ft). A 200 sq ft patio weighs about 10,000 lb.

About 1-3% for typical residential slabs. A standard grid adds 100-300 lb to a 10x20 ft slab.
