Hello
I am going to build a room using concrete form blocks. The floor slab is about to be completed.
I will be using concrete blocks measuring 50x25x30 cm (20x10x12 inches). Reinforcement is clear. I would like to mix the flowing concrete myself. A concrete mixer is available.
Now the questions: Which aggregate size should I use for the concrete? What is the mixing ratio (aggregate to cement)? What additives are necessary to achieve flowing concrete? Is the concrete truly "self-compacting," or will I need to assist with a tamping rod or a vibration device?
I need 200 liters (53 gallons) of concrete per square meter of wall surface.
