What is Ready Mixed Concrete (RMC)?

Ready Mixed Concrete is a tailor-made concrete that is manufactured in a factory or within a batching plant based on the standard required specifications. The prepared concrete mix is then taken to the work site within transit mixers mounted over a truck.
This type of concrete guarantee higher durability and sustainability. As the work is carried out by an expert supplier, the mixture formed is precise and of higher quality. Special concrete mixtures too can be made efficiently by this concrete manufacturing method.

Advantages of Ready Mixed Concrete

  1. Quality concrete is obtained as a ready-mix concrete mix plant make use of sophisticated equipment and consistent methods. There is strict control over the testing of materials, process parameters and continuous monitoring of key practices during the manufacturer. Poor control on the input materials, batching and mixing methods in the case of site mix concrete is solved in a ready-mix concrete method.
  2. Speed in the construction practices followed in ready mix concrete plant is followed continuously by having mechanized operations. The output obtained from a site mix concrete plant using an 8/12 mixer is 4 to 5 metric cubes per hour which are 30-60 metric cubes per hour in a ready-mix concrete plant.
  3. Better handling and proper mixing practice will help to reduce the consumption of cement by 10 – 12%. Use of admixtures and other cementitious materials will help to reduce the amount of cement.
  4. The concrete mixture is used with high versatility. It is placed by following the best concrete placing methods.
  5. Cement is saved and the dust caused is reduced as ready-mix concrete make use of bulk concrete instead of bags of cement.
  6. Cement saving will conserve the energy and the resources.
  7. Less consumption results in less production of cement hence less environmental pollution.
  8. A more durable structure is obtained thus increasing the service life and saving the life cycle costs.
  9. A ready-mix concrete manufacturer has less dependency on human labors hence the chances of human errors is reduced. This will also reduce the dependency on intensive labors.
  10. Small or large quantities of concrete as per the specification is delivered timely at the site.
  11. This demands no space for storing the raw materials at the site. There is no delay due to the site based batching plant erection/ dismantling; no equipment to hire; no depreciation of costs.
  12. Petrol and diesel consumed are less thus noise and air pollution is reduced.

Concrete Curing Compound

Curing is essential for the hydration of cement in concrete making. So, to maintain required moisture content, come precautions are applied. Concrete curing compound is a compound which helps to prevent the loss of moisture content from the concrete. So, concrete is properly cured which results the full development of strength of concrete. Types of Concrete Curing Compounds ·          Synthetic Resin Concrete Curing Compound Synthetic resins will seal the concrete by forming membrane. If we want to provide plastering, the membrane can be removed by washing it with hot water. ·          Acrylic Concrete Curing Compound Acrylic is made of polymers of acrylic acid. It also seals the concrete in good manner. It is having property of adhesion to the subsequent plaster. No need to wash the surface of acrylic with hot water if we want to provide plastering. ·      ...

Materials are used for road construction

Image
Road consist of basically 4 layers: Sub-grade: The sub-grade material should be clean and free from organic matter and should be able to be compacted by roller, to form stable sub-base. The material should have the following characteristics: ·          Well graded, uniformity coefficient (D60/D10) should not be less than 3. ·          Fraction passing sieve #200 shall not be greater than 2/3rd of the fraction passing sieve #40. ·          Should have a L.L not greater than 25%. ·          P.I not greater than 6 ·          CBR should not be less than 25. ·          In coarse grain, aggregate retained by #10 sieve, %age of wear shall not be greater than 5%. ·          The maximum dia...

DESIGN PROCEDURES FOR A BUILDING FOUNDATION

Good design must not only be safe but must aim to save construction costs, time and materials. The following procedures should help to achieve this and an ‘educated’ client will recognize the importance of funding this work with a realistic fee. 1. DECIDE THE LOCATION OF COLUMNS & FOUNDATION AND TYPE OF LOADS ACTING ON THEM On the building plan, the position of columns and load bearing walls should be marked, and any other induced loading's and bending moments. The loads should be classified into dead, imposed and wind loading's, giving the appropriate partial safety factors for these loads. 2. ESTIMATE ALLOWABLE BEARING PRESSURE OF SOIL USING GROUND INVESTIGATION REPORT From a study of the site ground investigation (if available), the strength of the soil at various depths or strata below foundation level should be studied, to determine the safe bearing capacity at various levels. These values – or presumed bearing values (from any standards or codes) in the...
