Compressive strength

Compressive strength is the most common performance metric for concrete. The compressive strength of concrete can be increased by:

  • Including admixtures

  • Adjusting the cement type and quantity

  • Reducing the water/cement ratio

  • Utilizing supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs)

  • Altering the aggregates - type and gradations

Additionally, high-early strength concrete can be achieved through a 4x4 Concrete System.
