Weight of reinforced concrete ?

Yes. IIRC, there are concretes made from lead-bearing minerals that are double the weight of ordinary. (used for radiation shielding)

If you speak to the quarries, you can buy "stone" and "hard stone", stone being limestone, and hardstone being someting heavier.

I suggest this may be the source of the extra weight.

If its wet, then it will also weight more. The wet RC35, thats I made reinfoced concrete with, was quoted as being between 2.25 and 2.5 tonnes a cube, buy the delivery driver.

If you want to be sure, knock a chunk off, work out its volume, (by displacement) and weitgh it. You then get the density.

Thanks Ian,

that may well be the case here.

Thanks Rick,

I suspect the client would not be best impressed if I was to knock a chunk off!

The steel is pretty heavy stuff you know, Concrete is 2-3tons a cu meter, but steel is far heavier.

Is your name atlas? Or are you actually using a vehicle rather than doing it yourself? ;-)

The weight of the steel I can calculate almost exactly, otherwise Yes >::>)o

Barium I think, rather then lead. Barytes makes the aggregate. Good neutron absorber and also heavy.

The radiation shielding grouts we made just contained steel shot, we have three density's, 4.3, 4.8 and 5.3.
