'Coarse-grain free concrete'?? Surely that would just be 'feiner Beton' or something similar?
This is from a building survey:
Gleichwohl stellt der Sachverständige fest, dass stellenweise grobkornarmer Beton vorzufinden ist.

According to the Portland Cement Association (= America's cement manufacturers), aggregates are inert granular materials such as sand, gravel, or crushed stone that, along with water and portland cement, are an essential ingredient in concrete.
For a good concrete mix, aggregates need to be clean, hard, strong particles free of absorbed chemicals or coatings of clay and other fine materials that could cause the deterioration of concrete. Aggregates, which account for 60 to 75 percent of the total volume of concrete, are divided into two distinct categories--fine and coarse. Fine aggregates generally consist of natural sand or crushed stone with most particles passing through a 3/8-inch sieve. Coarse aggregates are any particles greater than 0.19 inch, but generally range between 3/8 and 1.5 inches in diameter. Gravels constitute the majority of coarse aggregate used in concrete with crushed stone making up most of the remainder.

concrete with lower coarse aggregate contents.
"Self-consolidating concrete produced with lower coarse aggregate contents reduces the MOE of the concrete."

Thanks. I am all for tweaking normally but I wonder whether this one is worth looking for a more elegant solution..
