    Ready mix concrete is a concrete that is manufactured in a batching plant, using ingredients like cement, sand, coarse aggregate, water and admixtures. It is then delivered in transit mixers to construction sites where it can be used immediately. Ready mix concrete provides benefits like consistent quality, reduced waste, and faster construction compared to concrete mixed on-site. It finds applications in building highways, bridges, buildings and other infrastructure projects. While ready mix concrete has advantages, it also has disadvantages related to transportation and limited working time.

    The key takeaways are that ready mix concrete is a pre-mixed concrete that is delivered to construction sites for immediate use. It has cement, aggregates, water and other ingredients which are weighed and mixed at a central plant before delivery.

    The main ingredients of ready mix concrete are cement, sand, coarse aggregate and water.

    Special ingredients that can be added to ready mix concrete include admixtures, accelerators, retarders, superplasticizers and air-entraining agents.

    READY MIX CONCRETE

    INTORDUCTION
    Ready

    mix concrete which is popularly called as RMC. The first ready mix factory which was built in 1930s. The consumption of cement in the form of RMC is about 5% in India, where as in developed countries its about 70%. The leading RMC supplier worldwide is the mexican concrete and cement company cemex.

    Definition
    A

    concrete which is specially manufactured for the delivery to the costumer construction site in a freshly mixed, plastic and unhardened state.

    The main ingradients are


    Cement Sand Coarse water

    aggregate

    Special ingradients
    Admixtures

    Accelarators Retorders Superplastisizers Air entraining agents

    water and other ingredients, which are weighbatched at a centrally located plant. This is then delivered to the construction site in transit mixers and can be used straight away without any further treatment.
    Ready Mixed Concrete is manufactured under computer-controlled operations and transported and placed at site using sophisticated equipment and methods

    Concept of Readymix Concrete Ready-mix concrete has cement, aggregates,

    Small weigh batching plant for local deliveries

    TRANSIT MIXER

    For ready mix concrete supply the purchaser should specify the Following a) Designated max. size of coarse aggregate b) Desired / max. slump at the point of delivery c) Air content (for air entrained concrete) d) Mix design requirement such as cement content, max. water content & admixtures or minimum compressive strength at 28 days e) Unit weight required (for structural lightweight concrete.

    Utilization of Fly ash


    Though the scope for utilization of fly ash in Readymix concrete is very high, the concept of fly ash as an additive to concrete is still at very initial stage and it is not popular among majority of actual users of concrete

    Hurdles to set up new Plant:


    SELECTION

    OF AREA.

    AVAILABILITY

    OF WATER

    properties Desired properties of hardened ready-mixed


    concrete include durability strength water tightness resistance to abrasion.

    Applications Today, ready-mixed concrete is frequently used to construct


    highways bridges dams buildings airports

    sewer systems tunnels home foundations driveways sidewalks.

    Advantages
    A

    centralised concrete batching plant can serve a wide area


    plants are located in areas zoned for industrial use, and yet the delivery trucks can service

    The

    Better

    quality concrete is produced Elimination of storage space for basic materials at site Elimination of procurement / hiring of plant and machinery

    Wastage

    avoided Time required is greatly reduced. Noise and dust pollution at site is reduced Labor associated with production of concrete is eliminated

    of basic materials is

    Disadvantages
    TRANSPORTATION

    SITE RESTRICTION

    LIMITED

    SPAN BETWEEN MIXING AND GOING OFF

    About ACC Concrete

    ACC Concrete - a wide range


    High

    Strength Concrete High Performance Concrete Self-leveling Concrete Self-compacting Concrete Coloured Concrete Concrete made with binary and ternary blends of cements Early strength Concrete Fibre reinforced Concrete

    Anticipating

    huge potential for the product, cement majors, including Associated Cement Companies, Grasim, L&T, India Cements, Priyadarshini Cements, Chettinad Cement and Madras Cements, are foraying into the RMC business

    Goals:
    To

    determine the most economical and practical combination of readily available materials To produce a concrete that will meet requirements under specific conditions of use. The majority of concrete used for agricultural applications is supplied by ready-mix producers

    CONCLUSION
    RMC

    is more advantageous than site mix concrete Easier addition of admixture Flexibility in mix design RMC which produces uniform, consistent and quality assured concrete Faster and speedier construction
