Grade of Concrete and How It Works.

Image
This article  will cover an important topic  Grade of Concrete and How It Works 1. What is the Grade of Concrete? The grade of concrete represents the compressive strength of concrete after 28 days of curing , measured in Megapascals (MPa) or Newton per square millimetre (N/mm²) . It is denoted by M## , where: "M" stands for Mix "##" indicates the compressive strength in MPa (N/mm²) after 28 days For example, M20 concrete has a compressive strength of 20 MPa (or 20 N/mm²) . 2. How does the Grade of Concrete Work? The strength of concrete depends on the ratio of cement, sand, and aggregates used in the mix. There are two main ways to determine this mix: A. Nominal Mix Concrete (Lower Grades - Up to M25) Used for small-scale construction where precise strength is not critical. Standard mix ratios are used, such as: Concrete Grade Mix Ratio (Cement: Sand: Aggregat...
