Which concrete for wall?

[snowjim]

Hello,

I am going to cast a small footing where I will later add 3 levels of brick (wall). What type of concrete should I use? Is it okay to use ByggMax fine concrete? Or should I buy a better/another brand? It is, of course, important for us that this holds without cracking.

Byggmax fine concrete works well. You avoid the cracks by reinforcing, not by buying fine concrete

If the heel is higher or thicker than 10 cm, choose coarse concrete instead.

it can still crack. even if you reinforce and use "quality" concrete

Yes, don't use Bggmax "Ekonomibetong" it's not very good.

Thanks! Used Finja fine concrete, the plinth is about 7 cm, plus a little more maybe.
