The strength of concrete depends on a lot of factors.

Contractors need to know which strengths to order. If they choose the wrong strength, their construction site will be unsafe. A lot of ready mix concrete suppliers conduct compression strength tests.

Suppliers place cylindrical pieces of dry ready mix concrete into the machine. The machine compresses the samples and calculates the strength in megapascals (MPa).

Hertfordshire customers come back for additional services. We always keep our eye on the latest safety standards in the industry.

Cement and concrete are two of the most popular construction materials in the world. They go into projects all over Hertfordshire. Contractors use them in bridges, residential slabs, and commercial buildings.

Portland cement is the type that goes into every one of our mixes.

Cement functions as the hardening agent in ready mix concrete. It combines with sand, stone, and water to create ready mix concrete.

In the construction industry, ready mix concrete is measured in cubic metres. One cubic metre is around around 2.4 tonnes per cubic metre in weight.

Ready mix concrete gains strength when hydration occurs. Hydration is a chemical reaction that begins when water combines with sand, stone, and cement.

Water is very reactive when it combines with these other materials. Water molecules bond with sand, stone, and cement molecules. They crystallise and harden.

At this point, there is less moisture in the mixture. The existing bonds crowd together and concrete begins to dry.

Hydration happens whenever moisture is present in ready mix concrete. Most of the hydration process takes place in the first month after the concrete is laid.

People often mistake the curing process for the drying process. They are different chemical reactions that require separate controls.

Contractors do not have to worry too much about the drying process. They can simply add the correct amount of water to the mixture and let hydration do the rest.

Curing concrete requires a bit more consideration. These are two of the main ways you can ensure your concrete cures correctly.

• Create and maintain an environment of over 10°C for 3 to 14 days
• Maintain relative humidity above 80%

Most batches of ready mix concrete will cure after 28 days or so. It is important to remember that each project is different. For more specific information, always contact your engineers.

Our contractors tend to order C35 and above mixes for residential slabs.

Contractors should always speak to their engineers for specific information.

It is important to order the correct ready mix concrete strength. Using the wrong strength concrete can put your project plans on hold.

We deliver ready mix concrete to contractors all over Hertfordshire. Every project is different and requires different grades and strengths.

Cracks are normal. All types of concrete develop cracks because all concrete shrinks.

Hydration causes concrete to shrink. Water is the last material that is added to sand, stone, and cement. It is highly reactive. Water molecules collide and form bonds with the other molecules in the mixture.

The number of bonds increases, the particles come closer together, and concrete shrinks. Concrete shrinks an average of an 3mm for every 20 feet. Hydration makes concrete shrink, which is why it is important to only add as much water as necessary to the other materials.

Working on the surface of concrete before it cures can cause defects and increase the likelihood of cracks.

We recommend adding expansion joints to your ready mix concrete. One joint every three metres will give the mixture structure and reduce the amount of space for contraction.
