Weight of concrete
Weight of concrete
(OP)
Does anyone know of a way to cheaply increase the weight of concrete?
Its not a strength issue so I don't want to increase the grade or anything. Are there certain aggregates that increase the weight without affecting the grade?
Any help would be appreciated!

Why do you want to increase the weight??

With refined metals (lead, etc.) there are bonding and gradation problems.

It can be a challenge if you want both strength and other physical properties.

Most slag does not have the density of solid aggregate.
Taconite has the density, but the individual particles are spherical and do not lend themselves to very high concrete densities.
