GRADE GRAINS AND ITS RATES
There are many types of concrete used in construction.
These types vary in resistance to pressure.
This ability to withstand pressure makes concrete divided into different grade levels.
The values are represented by the letter M, followed by the corresponding standard number.
Example M 5
M7.5
M10
M15
M20
M25
N.k
M stands instead of MIX.
Pressure is measured in the Newton per per square unit as recognized in the construction industry.
The bottom line is that if you see M5 it means that the concrete mixture is able to withstand 5N pressure per mm.
In other words M5 could be N5 or C5.
That's right to say that every 1 square mm of concrete can withstand the pressure of 5 newton cans.
One newton = 101 gram force or 0.1 kg force.
Tests for obtaining such units were performed professionally in accordance with the recommended laboratory mix.
So if concrete is for human consumption only human can be M7.5 equivalent to say N7.5.
If it is for a slab then you will need at least a lot of moth-reinforced concrete (RCC).
On that basis the level of demand for concrete with the highest strength will be required depending on the type of construction and the purpose of the concrete requirements.
The most commonly used concrete grades are
(?) Cement: (?) Sand: (?) Pebbles
M5 1: 5:10
M7.5 1: 4: 8
M10 1: 3: 6
M15 1: 2: 4
M20 1: 1½: 2
M25 1: 1: 1½
Grade level
M30
M35
M40
50 and onwards are prepared by adding the ratio of overall strength i.e. Mpa. That is another short lesson.
Also the highest grade of concrete can be designed by the site engineer according to the recommendations of the type of construction. The technique is used in super structures.
Remember that in order for concrete to meet the recommended standards, it must go through all the important steps, such as sand selection, clean pebbles, proper water level and vibration.
