What do you mean by Plum Concrete? Often called cyclopean concrete, plum concrete is a mixture of wet concrete and large, strong, clean boulders or aggregates of roughly 300 millimetres. The plum makes up about 30?40% of the overall weight of the poured-in-place material. Plum concrete is created by adding medium to large stones as fillers that range in size from 300mm and higher. Enhancing the apparent yield of concrete for a given amount of cement, it prevents the use of too much cement without sacrificing strength.
