Entry nominal structural-adjacent mix. Common for kerb haunching and light, non-critical bedding.
Mix ratio
1 : 3 : 6
Cement : Sand : Aggregate
Proportions & strength
M10 nominal concrete: proportions by volume, typical compressive strength and use.
Designation
M10
Ratio (by volume)
1 : 3 : 6
Cement
1 part
Sand
3 parts
Aggregate
6 parts
Typical compressive strength
1,450 psi · 10 MPa
Typical use
Levelling courses, path bedding, kerb backing.
Planning reference. Strengths are typical values for a well-made mix at 28 days, not a guaranteed design strength. Structural work must follow your local building code and a qualified engineer's mix design.
Where M10 is used
Entry nominal structural-adjacent mix. Common for kerb haunching and light, non-critical bedding.
Nominal mixes like this are proportioned by volume on site and suit general and domestic work. Anything structural - reinforced, load-bearing or engineered - should use a design mix proportioned by weight from tested materials.
