Better performing mix designs with same materials
-
Formulation of performance
based mix designswith new materials
-
Mix design management system for
changes in materials
and environment

- Void spaces are reduced by optimizing
particle packing of raw materials
- Aggregates replace excess cement paste
to give improved stability, less shrinkage
and lower cost
- Lower hydration temperatures
- Optimized mix designs mean easier handling,
better consistency and easier finishing

- Larger void spaces require more cement paste
- Cement paste is the weakest
and most
expensive material in concrete
- Excess cement generates excess heat
of hydration
- Industry commonly allows driver-added water to meet workability
requirements, which reduces strength
