Dry Kiln Cement
Question for a Structural Engineer?

I need to make a concrete slab for weighing down a timber stack during drying in a kiln. The slab needs to have a minimum weight of 50lb/cft and withstand being repeatedly heated to around 140f for a few days and then cooled to ambient temperature.

What would be the best cement/sand ratio to create this slab and which grade of sand would be most suitable?

Thanks

50/50
