What it means
This strength indicates the target compressive strength after curing. It should be paired with the right mix properties and preparation.
- Common strength
- Often associated with exterior surfaces
- Not a guarantee without good execution
Concrete strength
30 MPa concrete for slabs, driveways and exterior projects
30 MPa is often discussed for slabs and exterior surfaces, but the exact mix depends on exposure, finish and project requirements.
Possible uses
Depending on requirements, it may be considered for patios, driveways, sidewalks, slabs and small commercial work.
- Patios
- Driveways and sidewalks
- Common slabs
Details to provide
Mention use, freeze exposure, finish, thickness, volume and any contractor-provided specification.
- Use and exposure
- Finish
- Volume and thickness
- Specification
What to verify
For exterior work in Quebec, air entrainment, drainage, joints and curing can be as important as strength.
- Air entrainment if required
- Base preparation
- Joints and curing
