C40/50 ready-mix concrete has a 28-day characteristic cylinder compressive strength of 40 MPa and a cube strength of 50 MPa. It is produced to TS EN 206, with the water/cement ratio and minimum cement content set for your project\'s exposure class.
Production and delivery
Consistence is adjusted to the placement method (S3–S5); superplasticisers are used for pumped pours. Samples from every delivery undergo 7 and 28-day cube tests in our laboratory and the results are reported to you.
Good practice
- Place the concrete within 90 minutes of leaving the plant.
- Never add water on site; specify the consistence you need when ordering.
- Keep the concrete moist-cured for at least 7 days after placing.
