Compressive strength vs curing time
The table below shows the approximate compressive strength of the concrete in relation to the number of days after the concrete has been poured.
| Days | Compressive Strength |
|---|---|
| 1 Day | 16% |
| 3 Day | 40% |
| 7 Day | 65% |
| 14 Day | 90% |
| 28 Day | 99% |
Grout admixtures or replacements for drilling:
- 1. Super mud is a non-cementitious material commonly used in drilling. It is used to constantly flow through the center of the drill to flush out dirt and rock to
prevent clogging. - 2.Flushing grout is another technique used like super mud, to keep the drill clear from any clogging. Flushing grout uses a low cement to water ratio to maintain a higher consistency than water but a lower consistency than structural grout.
- 3.Super plasticizer is another admixture that can be added to a concrete mixture. Super plasticizers reduce the amount of water needed in the mix, and in turn increase the cement’s strength by increasing the density and lowering the permeability
