Design Concrete
Design concrete is hugely important in the concrete industry. It involves mixing exact quantities of aggregates, cementitious materials and admixtures to develop a mix that meets a specific need or specification.
Types of Design Concrete
Design concrete comes in a variety of types, including:
- C10 – Similar uses to C7, with a slightly higher cement content
- C15 – Popular for those looking to install concrete pathways or blinding for steel
- C20 – Commonly used for domestic projects, this medium strength mix can be used on patio paving, house extensions and wall foundations
- C25 – An incredibly versatile mix, this type is used for drainage, trench filling, housing foundations and more
- C30 – This mix can be used for a wide variety of domestic and commercial construction tasks – including foundations, garages, concrete shed bases and more
- C35 – Regularly used for projects such as internal paving for heavy use, reinforced bases, agricultural building construction and reinforced concrete walls
- C40 – One of the strongest design concrete mixes, C40 is used for concrete walls, paving, HGV parking, septic tank foundations and more
- C50 – a specialist high performance / high strength concrete known for its durability. This concrete is typically used when placing concrete in harsh conditions where high levels of abrasion or strong chemicals are present.
