    Ready mix concrete (RMC) is concrete that is manufactured in a factory, then delivered in a fresh state by truck mounted transit mixers. It contains ingredients like cement, sand, aggregate, water, and sometimes admixtures. RMC provides consistent quality concrete and eliminates the need for storage and mixing equipment on construction sites. While RMC use is still low in India compared to other countries, it offers advantages like reduced construction time, waste, noise and dust pollution at sites. Transportation limitations and site restrictions can pose disadvantages to RMC.

    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 aggregate water

    Special ingradients

    Admixtures Accelarators Retorders Superplastisizers Air entraining agents

    Concept of Readymix Concrete


    Ready-mix concrete has cement, aggregates, 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

    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

    The plants are located in areas zoned

    for industrial use, and yet the delivery trucks can service residential districts or inner cities

    Better quality concrete is

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

    Wastage of basic materials is

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

    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
