Summary by Krater

The host tests various concrete water ratios and additives including Mountain Dew, flow control, acrylic fortifier, fiberglass, oobleck, and wood glue using a concrete test hammer and a hydraulic press.

Answers: What is the best concrete mix ratio and what additives make concrete stronger?

• concrete water-to-cement ratio
• concrete additives testing
• concrete strength testing
• rebound hammer test
• hydraulic press crush test

What it concludes

• The bag minimum water recommendation concrete produced 1,871 PSI on the hammer test and 0.5 tons on the crush test.
• The +33% water concrete produced 2,103 PSI on the hammer test and 3.75 tons on the crush test.
• The +66% water concrete produced 2,147 PSI on the hammer test and 3.75 tons on the crush test.
• The acrylic fortifier concrete produced 1,900 PSI on the hammer test and 3.5 tons on the crush test.
• The fiberglass reinforced concrete produced 1,857 PSI on the hammer test and 4 tons on the crush test.
• The glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRC) achieved the highest overall crush test performance at 3.75 tons with a hammer test of 1,857 PSI.
