[PSUBS-MAILIST] concrete sub - sand and gravel



Wilfried,
                Where you plan to build the concrete sub, what is the quality of the sand and gravel ?  According to concrete experts that I have talked to this is very important for the ultimate strenght of the cured concrete.  For instance, here in Ventura California where I live, the geology of the area here on the coast,  the rock here is not good for strong concrete.  I have to make sure I get sand and gravel from the desert area where there are deposits of granite.
