How do you calculate the amount of concrete to order for your driveway if the driveway is 20' wide 40' long and 3 thick?

Multiply length by width by depth (in feet). Divide that number of square feet by 27 to get cubic yards and then allow for a little extra.
(20 X 40 X .25 = 200 / 27 = 7.4 yards)
The answer is spot on correct however with 30 years of concrete experience I would not recommend a 3 inch thick slab unless you have very light vehicles. Our normal pour for garage slabs or driveways is a 4 inch pour using 3000 psi concrete with air entraining. This will give you a slab that you can depend on for delivery vehicles and others that may use your drive.

How much concrete for a 10'x10'x4 slab?
1.23 cubic yards. Adjusting for safety, you should order a minimum of 1.5 cubic yards. 1.5 cubic yards is a whole lot of mixing. Most concrete compnay's have a minimum order of 3 to 7 cubic yards of concrete on each load, so if you need less than five yards, it might start to get more expensive. If you have another small project you can do at the same time with the additional concrete, that might be a great way to stretch your dollars. To calculate other structures you might need, I'll post a link to a calculator.

Advice or tips on mainting my driveway.?
There are several things you need to do to maintain your driveway and keep it from cracking. First, remove any vegetation that is close to your driveway. Trees and bushes may send roots out that will eventually grow underneath the concrete and cause it to crack. You should also edge your driveway. Make sure your water disposal systems are kept in good working order. Water flowing under your concrete can cause freezing in the winter. Finally, use a concrete water sealant.

How much does a square foot of concrete cost?
There is no way to calculate cost for a square foot of concrete (?" w x ?" l). In order to calculate cost you need to first calculate volume which requires a third dimension of height (?" w x ?" l x ?" h). Concrete is usually sold by the cubic yard (36" wide x 36" long x 36" high). Another factor in calculating price of concrete is distance to delivery location.

How many miles is 4.36 million yards of concrete?
2477-miles! 1 yard of concrete has length of 3-feet. One (US) mile is 5,280-ft. In order to calculate total miles we multiply 4,360,000 yards of concrete by 3 to figure out how many feet we have. Then we take that amount and divide it by 5,280 to arrive at how many miles that comes out to. The equation would look like this: (4360000x3)/(5280)= 2477
