The Harper Ready Mix Composition

Concrete from Harper Ready Mix is composed of a paste and aggregates (sand and rock). The paste, which consists of cement and water, adheres to the surfaces of the fine (sand) and coarse aggregates (rocks), binding them into a cohesive mass known as concrete.

One of the distinctive features of concrete from Harper Ready Mix is its plasticity when freshly mixed, allowing it to be shaped into any form. Once hardened, it becomes strong and durable. These attributes make Harper Ready Mix concrete suitable for constructing various structures such as foundations, bridges, sidewalks, highways, houses, sound walls and more.

The quality of concrete, in terms of strength and durability, relies on the precise proportioning and mixing of its ingredients. If the mixture lacks enough paste to fill the spaces between the aggregates, it will be challenging to place and will result in rough, honeycombed surfaces and porous concrete. On the other hand, an excess of cement paste will make the mixture easier to place and yield a smooth surface, but it may be more prone to cracking and less economical.

Achieving the right proportions in a concrete mixture ensures the needed workability when the concrete is fresh and the desired durability and strength once it has hardened. Typically, the volume composition of a concrete mix consists of about 10 to 15 percent cement, 60 to 75 percent aggregates, and 15 to 20 percent water. Additionally, many concrete mixtures include entrained air bubbles, which can make up another 5 to 8 percent.

Besides standard and engineered ready-mix concrete, Harper Ready Mix provides the following specialized products:

• Flowable Fill
• Grout
• Colored Concrete
• Lightweight Concrete
• Pervious Concrete
• Shotcrete
• High-Performance Concrete
