Thor, or should that be Zeus?

Have you got any images of the final design you settled on Chaz?

50mm thick UHPC is pretty strong!

Ill upload some. I need to rethink the gantry. I need to use less concrete. The plastisizer cost a fortune ...

Polycarboxylate is the normal liquid superplasticizer. The shop I just linked seem to be pretty good and reasonably priced.

I'm going to try them out for some of my own experimentation.

Looks similar to what I am using but mine is a bit lighter. Same idea however.

Chaz is the colour from the super plasticer or have you added pigments.? Also expected that you would have added fibres.?

Jazz, the cement is white. Snowcrete (basically). The stone is black and the sand then, well brown. The plastisizer is a light colour .... I suspect most of the colour is the mix of sand and cement.

I did not add fibres. It was discussed (with the guy providing me bits) and in his past experience it was pain to do and he did not feel worth it.

Erm not sure I've mixed plenty of plain concrete and it doesn't go that colour. Think something is having an affect.? maybe because less water.?

Erm that surprises me because most of the polymer concrete bases I've seen have used fibres of some kind to bind together.?
