Re: [papercreters] Re: Data base info on PC mix



Those standards are for concrete. Papercrete is not concrete.

Industry standard is a seven day preliminary break and a twenty eight day break. Some jobs do additional breaks at 54 days or 90 days depending on original mix design. I would have expected higher compressive strengths also.  --- In papercreters@yahoogroups.com, Jim Elbrecht <elbrecht@...> wrote:   
Both good reading.       PC is *way* softer than I expected. Softer than most woods used in construction.         260psi is softer than basswood. [and concrete used in footings is abt 5000psi, if I recall correctly]  They don't say on that page how long they cured the samples. [or am I missing that?]      1 week, 1 month, and 1 year samples would be interesting.  Jim
