Tips for using hand-mixed concrete
Are you confused about how to estimate the quantity of raw materials you need for small volumes of hand-mixed concrete? This resource contains two useful tables to help you get the mix right.
It’s worth remembering that small concrete jobs are subject to the same strength and quality requirements of larger jobs. Pre-mixed concrete is delivered according to a defined set of criteria for concrete type, strength and workability. It’s important that concreters ensure the same standards are adhered to when they mix their own concrete.
This resource contains two tables with information supplied by Cement Concrete and Aggregates Australia. The tables outline the quantities of raw materials needed to hand-mix small volumes of concrete. Raw material quantities are given for general purpose concrete and for higher-strength concrete.
Use the information contained in the tables to mix your next batch of concrete with confidence.
