- toomuchtodo 10y agoI'm using a concrete VW on the ocean floor as a reference. Its supposedly 8 tons. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/picturegalleries/8589222/A-concrete-Volkswagen-Beetle-is-parked-underwater-amongst-the-sculptures-off-Cancun.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/picturegalleries/8589222/A... > How much concrete is in the Hoover Dam? Three and one-quarter million cubic yards. (Normal weight concrete weighs about 4000 lb. per cubic yard, so 3,250,000 cubic yards weighs 6,500,000 US tons). http://www.usbr.gov/lc/hooverdam/faqs/damfaqs.html http://www.usbr.gov/lc/hooverdam/faqs/damfaqs.html There are ~812,500 VW bugs worth of concrete in the Hoover Dam.
