depend what u want as I said. example floor slab usually require grade 25N concrete. of course u can use grade 40N but for what wasting that money to get more strength than what it require? wall and column require grade 40N concrete. anyway the strength of concrete doesn't support ur house. the 1 which give the strength to support the entire building is the steel bar inside the concrete. concrete just give a little compressive strength and protect the steel from rusty. biggrin.gif

waterproofing which 1 better? of course is membrane type la. abt RM90/m2

Your understanding of structural theory is a little way off, Concrete withstand compressive strength while steel rebar withstand tensile strength. Together the two material used together is called Reinforced Concrete. The steel rebar helps resist bending (moment) and tensile actions/force acted upon the component (beam, column and slab), but concrete is the one holding everything together.
