You need to provide a lot more information. What press are you using? What's your concrete mix? What aggregate? Cement content? Doesn't your testing lab report back on strength and composition issues?

hi again..Thank for your reply..
I am using hydraulic press machines which I brought from Malaysia.The formula I used are 60 sand,45 cement and 100 stones..The paving block size is 10x10x21cm
The testing lab report is not that complete..Maybe soon I will check again..But it took long time..
Can you tell me the right formula to make paving blocks and must put any chemical things to make it stronger?
Thanks again for helping me
