Reinforced Concrete
Reinforced Concrete or RC Concrete is used for a series of designated Concretes that are used in Concrete that will be reinforced, pre-stressed or contain embedded steel.
Reinforced Concretes
Applying the right Concrete mix for your project is essential for achieving the best results. Subsequently, the Mick George Group supply a comprehensive range of Concrete Applications of varying strengths and grades to ensure the ideal solution for any project, large or small.
Reinforced Concrete or RC Concrete is used for a series of designated Concretes that are used in Concrete that will be reinforced, pre-stressed or containing embedded steel. The specifications for the RC-series of designated Concretes include requirements for maximum water to cement ratio (W/C) and minimum cementitious content (MCC), which makes specification easier and complete. The range of uses for this group of mix types ranges in size from a lightly reinforced house or garage floors to industrial and agricultural reinforced Concrete that is exposed to highly demanding exposure conditions.

RC20/25 Concrete is suitable for extremely mild exposure conditions for applications such as lightly reinforced house or garage floors which are not designed as suspended and infill to insulated Concrete formwork used above ground.
Concrete strength: 25N/mm2 at 28 days
Ideal for:
- Lightly reinforced house or garage floors
- Infill to insulated Concrete formwork used above ground

RC25/30 Concrete is suitable for mild exposure conditions for applications such as lightly reinforced Concrete, internal wearing surface for light foot/trolley traffic and reinforced foundations in DC-1 soils.
Concrete strength: 30N/mm2 at 28 days
Ideal for:
- Lightly reinforced Concrete
- Internal wearing surface for light foot and trolley traffic
- Reinforced foundations in DC-1 soils

RC 28/35 is a reinforced Concrete mix that is best suited to moderately exposed conditions – specifically floors for farm buildings such as barns and livestock housing. RC 28/35 Concrete can also be used in industrial floors for more general use.
Concrete strength: 35N/mm2 at 28 days
Ideal for:
- General and agricultural reinforced Concrete
- Livestock and crop store floors
- Domestic garages used as workshops

RC32/40 Concrete is suitable for moderate to high exposure conditions such as general and agricultural reinforced Concrete, livestock and crop store floors, domestic garages used as workshops.
Concrete strength: 35N/mm2 at 28 days
Ideal for:
- General, agricultural and industrial reinforced Concrete
- Floors and walls for manure and slurry stores or mushroom sheds
- General industrial floors subjected to small-wheeled forklift trucks

RC35/45 Concrete is suitable for highly demanding exposure conditions such as agricultural and industrial reinforced Concrete, stable floors, floors and walls for silage or brewer’s grain stores or floors for parlours and dairies.
Concrete strength: 45N/mm2 at 28 days
Ideal for:
- Agricultural and industrial reinforced Concrete
- Stable floors
- Floors and walls for silage or brewer’s grain stores
- Floors for parlours and dairies

RC40/50 Concrete is suitable severe exposure conditions such as agricultural and industrial reinforced Concrete, stable floors, floors and walls for silage or brewer’s grain stores or floors for parlours and dairies.
Concrete strength: 50N/mm2 at 28 days
Ideal for:
- Agricultural and industrial reinforced Concrete
- Stable floors
- Floors and walls for silage or brewer’s grain stores
- Floors for parlours and dairies
