Special Class

Special Class

Special Class is concrete which is specified to have certain properties or characteristics different from, or additional to, those of Normal Class concrete. Such as Pre -cast panels, Green Star, Permeable Concrete, Low shrink pavements, post tension slabs, high strength 60MPa+ concrete, spray mixes etc.

Special Class requirements are either:

  1. Performance based and may specify a property which can be verified through testing - such as compressive strength of 60MPa @ 28 days;
    OR
  2. Prescription based and may specify the mix design by dictating the material types and proportions - such as 280 GP Cement

Performance and Prescription requirements may include such things as: microstrain shrinkage, flexural or tensile strength, early age strength limitation, non-chloride additives, maximum water cement ratios, GP or GB cement types, fibres, mineral oxide pigments, water proofing additives, testing requirements, pumping and placement requirements, etc.
