[TowerTalk] Cubic meter of concrete

[Jim Lux]

cured and fully dry are two different things, of course. Some concrete never
fully dries, although it gets quite hard (in fact, you don't want it to dry
during the curing process).

In any case, the density of concrete varies a lot depending on what they use
for aggregate. A nice working number might be 2-3 g/cc.
There are specialized concretes that are very dense (used, for instance, for
shielding reactors) that use barium or iron containing aggregate which is
quite dense.  There are also concretes that are quite "un-"dense, using
expanded mica or pumice as an aggregate (for example, refractory cement).
