Need for different concrete compressive strength for a different purpose
Product
Based on the structural importance /occupancy of a building or any constructions,different grades of concrete with specific compressive strength are needed. Compressive strength of concrete is important to determine the amount of load, a given structural member, such as a floor slab, beam, column or foundation can hold. The strength in concrete is expressed in PSI that signifies the amount of weight it can support.
Concrete grade with compressive strength of 2500 PSI is used for a less critical application like residential slabs or sidewalks. For midrise buildings, we usually use 3000-4000 PSI Strength. With the engineered design, mixes of over 6,000 PSI used in specialized applications. So there are many different types, strengths & compositions of concrete. Each with characteristics that makes them perform for different applications.
A Customized Solution
Keeping these factors in consideration, Iron Built RMC offers the following grades of concrete to the valuable customers:
| Compressive Strength | PSI 2500 | PSI 3000 | PSI 3500 | PSI 4000 | PSI 4500 | PSI 5000 | PSI 5500 | PSI 6000 | PSI 6500 | PSI 7000 | Above |
