Yield is used to determine if the concrete supplier has delivered the amount of concrete ordered. For example, if the contractor orders 7 yards and the concrete pour comes short of filling the structure, a yield test can be performed to determine if 7 yards were actually delivered. To calculate yield, follow these simple steps.
