| When selecting a particular concrete mix, consider these parameters: | The solution - select a concrete that will fit the purpose: | | Is the strength adequate to support the load? | Consider a structural concrete 4000 psi and up. | | Is the concrete used as a wearing surface? | The choice for a wearing surface should always be at least 5.5 sk. | Is the concrete exposed to freeze-thaw conditions? | The choice should be air entrained 5.5 sk minimum with a low water cement ration 0.49 or less. | | Always use a sealer on concrete. | TOP
