    This document provides recommendations for a micro concrete mix design including: 1) A mix with 556 kg/m3 of cement, 1,112 kg/m3 of washed fine sand, and 387 kg/m3 of water to achieve a strength range of 30-40 N/mm2. 2) The sand should be well graded according to BS 822 Zone F. 3) The water-cement ratio may need adjustment based on the exact sand used and should be determined using a flow cone to achieve a discharge time of 27-33 seconds.

    Micro Concrete Mix Design


    Recommended Micro Concrete Mix

    2:1 Sand:Cement ratio with the following mix proportions

    Cement 556 kg/ m
    SandFine sharp washed. Zone 3 to 4 1,112 kg/ m
    Water (mixing water:cement ratio 0.7, 387 kg/ m
    varies to suit sand grading)

    Typical Strength Range 3040 N/mm
    Recommended Sand

    Washed river or sea sand that is well graded within B.S. 822 Zone F. The sand grading line
    should fall inside the green zone on the graph below.
    Flow Cone

    The water:cement ratio varies with the exact granulometry of the
    sand used and should be determined on site using the Proserve
    Flow Cone.

    The water: cement ratio is adjusted to give a discharge time of 27-
    33 seconds

    The porous fabric allows the concrete to
    bleed, giving off its free water and thus
    reduces the pressures acting upon it. This
    allows the strength of the concrete to be
    higher than normal for a given concrete
    mix whilst retaining fluidity during
    placement
