Conversion Basis
Area conversions are used for foundations, drainage basins, pavement quantities, property plans, and distributed load calculations. Area factors are the square of the corresponding length factor.
target area = source area x source-to-square-meter factor / target-to-square-meter factor
Common Examples
- 100 m2 = 1,076.39 ft2
- 1 acre = 4,046.86 m2
- 1 ha = 2.47105 acres
Engineering Use and Limitations
- Use plan area, not sloping surface area, when the governing equation calls for projected area.
- Check whether a drainage or grading quantity is based on gross area, disturbed area, or tributary area.
- Area conversion does not change the basis of a load; convert the load units separately.
