Concrete Purchase Price Index (MPPI) for August 2026

by

The average price of C30 concrete nationwide in August 2026 was 264.

24 yuan/ton, a decrease of 3.

29 yuan/ton or 1.

23% compared to July’s 267.

Erection Anchor

53 yuan/ton, indicating a weak overall market operation.

In terms of cost, the center of gravity of cement and gravel prices has shifted downward this month, and the continuous decline in cost has become one of the core drivers of the weakening of concrete prices.

On the supply side, due to extreme weather conditions, large-scale rainfall in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, and Fujian has led to a significant reduction in the transportation volume of concrete enterprises, resulting in a low capacity utilization rate.

After the impact of rainfall weather weakened in the later stage, the recovery of capacity utilization rate was also relatively limited.

In terms of demand, the current momentum for the recovery of the housing construction industry is still insufficient, with only key infrastructure projects supporting basic needs, which has significantly suppressed the demand for concrete.

Market transactions are weak, and prices are under overall pressure and downward.

Analysis of the influencing factors and preventive measures of concrete segregation and bleeding

by

Concrete is widely used in various construction and engineering fields, but problems such as cracks and water leakage often occur during use, which can cause serious damage to the quality of its products or projects.

Therefore, proactive measures must be taken to address these issues.

Among them, segregation and bleeding are the two main factors that cause concrete cracks and water leakage.

Segregation refers to the phenomenon of layering of aggregates and cementitious materials in concrete, while bleeding refers to the appearance of water droplets or water droplets on the surface of concrete.

This article will start from the perspective of re mixing concrete and explore in depth the influencing factors and preventive measures of segregation and bleeding.

Abnormal fluctuation of concrete: implicit change in water cement ratio under stable slump surface

by

The core essence of abnormal fluctuations in concrete is that the actual water cement ratio undergoes implicit changes under a stable slump surface, which ultimately leads to significant deviations in strength, workability, and other indicators.

Even if the slump control meets the standard, the strength may still fluctuate by 10% to 20% after 28 days.

Research on the mix proportion of super large area ground concrete based on crack control

by

The ultra large area seamless concrete floor is increasingly favored by architects and homeowners at home and abroad due to its strong integrity, convenient construction, and excellent economic performance, and has broad development space and application prospects.

Rebar Bolsters

This study is based on the ground engineering of the exhibition hall of the Capital International Convention and Exhibition Center, and focuses on the raw materials and mix proportions that affect concrete cracking.

Through research on concrete raw materials, mix proportion parameters, production control, and other aspects, it provides concrete suitable for ultra large area wear-resistant floors, reduces ground cracking caused by concrete itself, and provides reference for similar projects.

Technical disclosure of concrete pavement construction

During the concrete pouring process, the fabric should be dispersed to ensure that the concrete mixture is evenly distributed without any accumulation.

When using dump trucks or mixer trucks to unload materials, it is strictly prohibited to concentrate a few points of the fabric to allow the concrete to accumulate.

During the leveling process, construction personnel may easily cause damage to the uniformity of the concrete mixture.
