Is there any other explanation other than I have been done?
Took delivery of 1 tonne aggregate to mix into concrete, as per normal I shovelled it into the mixer at the ratio of 6 shovels of aggregate to one 1 of cement. Curiously I only used 5 bags (125kg) of cement. Now this only means two things I had done a 1:8 mix or i had only received ¾ tonne of aggregate. So on the second 1 tonne delivery of aggregate I measured it into the mixer By the bucketful (has to be as accurate as reasonably practical) Same results, just over 5bags cement done the whole tonne. The supplier of the aggregate assures me his tonnes are accurate, So before I take the matter further and embarres myself, is there any other reason why I am getting the above results?...
