Cubic foot concrete weighs 145 pounds. For the depth in feet divide the thickness of your concrete with 12. E.g. 6 inches slab of concrete. 6/12 = 5. So, the 6-inch slab is 5 feet thick. Then multiply the 5 feet thickness with 145 ponds & you get 72.5 pounds. So this is calculated that a 6-inch thick slab weighs 72.5 pounds per square foot.
