Cement to Soil ratio will vary according to soil type and should be determined by testing the soil for shrinkage. This can be done quickly & easily using a special shrinkage box supplied with the Block Press. Please note that heavily clay soils, where shrinkage exceeds 40mm, the soil may require further stabilization with sand.
Shrinkage | Less than 12mm | 12 – 23mm | 24 – 39mm |
Cement to Soil Ratio | 1:18 | 1:16 | 1:14 |
Approximate no of blocks | 150 | 120 | 100 |
