Hi everybody,
I was taught to mix concrete at a 1:2:3 ratio; that is 1 part cement to 2 parts sand to 3 parts of gravel. I noticed that here locals mix concrete 1 bag of cement to 2 wheelbarrows of "arena processada" (crushed stone sand) and 1 wheelbarrow of gravel.
I noticed the sand they use contains lots of gravel of the 3 - 5 mm range.
Does anybody know what is the right mix ratio for concrete with the "arena processada" (crushed stone sand)?
