We prepared our preliminary mix design using the measurements listed under Mix Design. Nine mortar cubes were filled with this mixture, and were covered for 24 hours before they were placed in water to cure for the next 28 days. Our mix was successful, the cubes floated!

Mixing for a preliminary design was performed on Tuesday, September 29th. Mortar cubes (2″ x 2″ x 2″) were created in order to test 28-day compressive strengths. Mix proportions can be seen on the Mix Design page.

We got a practice canoe!
