Understanding Concrete Grades
In Pakistani construction, selecting the correct concrete grade is critical for durability and safety.
- C15/20 (1:2:4): Commonly used for residential slabs, beams, and columns.
- C20/25 (1:1.5:3): Ideal for commercial buildings and heavy load structures.
- C10 (1:3:6): Lean mix used for foundations and base concrete.
Sand Types: Ravi vs. Chenab
Chenab Sand is coarser and provides higher strength, making it suitable for concrete and plastering. Ravi Sand is finer and commonly used for masonry due to lower cost.
Why Use Plasticizers?
Plasticizers improve workability while reducing water content. They increase concrete strength and are highly recommended for roof slabs in hot climates such as Lahore and Karachi.
