What is the BS concrete design mix for class 20?
40 20 concrete design mix is the water to cementitious materials ratio. This is what determines the class of the design mix.

Can Cement be put on top of cement?
If the question means: "can new concrete or mortar be put on top of old concrete", for example to restore a reinforced concrete structure, the answer is NO. You will have to use proprietary non shrinking cementitious mortars (say Emaco or similar), otherwise the patch will fall to the ground ! vAR - Roma, Italy Yes you can! However first check the pH of the concrete to insure it is no higher than the number 9ph. If pH is between 7.5 and 9ph you are ready to repair. Apply a densifier to the concrete and resurface with a high performance repair material or overlay. JH Super-Krete

What is micro concrete?
Microconcrete is a dry ready mix Cementetious based composition formulated for use in repairs of areas where the concrete is damaged & the area is restricted in movement making the placement of conventional concrete difficult., It is supplied as a ready to use dry powder which requires only addition of clean water at site to produce a free flowing non shrink repair micro concrete. This is a cementitious material, with additives, which impart controlled expansion characteristics in the plastic state with reduced water demand.

Is cementitious material a dangerous good?
In most cases, cementitious material (materials that tends to stick to itself and form one solid mass) will not meet the definition of a Dangerous Good (Hazardous Material). However, some specific materials may have chemical or fire properties that may make them Dangerous Goods. Always look beyond how it sticks together to consider how it compares to the actual definitions of a Dangerous Good in each of the nine hazard classes.
