• CONCLUSION
INTRODUCTION:
• Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) is a specialized material in which the cement aggregates and other
ingredients are weigh-batched at a plant in a central mixer or truck mixer, before delivery to the
construction site in a condition ready for placing by the builder.
• Thus, `fresh' concrete is manufactured in a plant away from the construction site and transported within
the requisite journey time. The RMC supplier provides two services, firstly one of processing the
materials for making fresh concrete and secondly, of transporting a product within a short time.
• It is delivered to the worksite, often in transit mixers capable of mixing the ingredients of the concrete
just before the delivery of batch.
• The second option available is to mix the concrete at the batching plant and deliver the mixed concrete
to the site in an agitator truck, which keeps the mixed concrete in correct form.
• The use of the RMC is facilitated through a truck-mounted 'boom placer' that can pump the product for
ready use at multi-storied construction sites. A boom placer can pump the concrete up 80 meters.
OBJECTIVE:
• The main objective to choose this topic is that an engineer should have the
knowledge of advantages of RMC and disadvantages of Site mixed concrete.
• As RMC is being widely used in bigger and medium size of projects today,
Engineer should be aware of the technicality of the RMC and the operational
work, to ensure the quality of work and the Site Engineer should know what are
the steps to be taken to check the concrete in RMC, what is required to be
specified for RMC, what is the information required to be supplied by the RMC
supplier, what checks are necessary by the consumer before ordering RMC, what
are the checks needed at site prior and after to receipt of RMC.
NECESSITY:
Normally the concrete operation carried out in India, is of site mixed, which is having some disadvantages which are
shown below:
• Quality Assurance not guaranteed.
• Constant control on aggregates for size, shape & grading not exercised on site.
• Arbitrary batching and mixing by volume. Strict water-cement ratio not exercised.
• Wastage of materials.
• Retarded speed.
• Concreting operations prolonged beyond day light without proper lighting.
• Manual operation.
• Speed restricted depending on mixers.
• Restricted spaces.
• Storages of aggregates and cement.
• Blocking of roads / approaches
• Dust pollution
HISTORY:
• The Idea of Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) was first introduced by Architect Jurgen Heinrich
Magens, he got his patent of RMC in Germany in 1903.
• In 1907, he discovered that the available time for transportation could be prolonged not only
by cooling fresh concrete but also by vibrating it during transportation. So this gave rise to a
concrete which is made in the off site.
• The first concrete mixed off site and delivered to a construction site was effectively done in
Baltimore, United States in 1913, just before the First World War.
• The first concept of transit mixer was also born in 1926 in the United States.
• Between the years 1950 and 1980 considerable growth of RMC took place in the United
States with the maximum supply of 31 million cubic meters in the year 1974.
RMC IN INDIA:
• In India RMC was first initially was used in 1950 during the construction sites of Dams like
Bhakra Nangal, Koyna.
• At the construction the transportation of concrete is done by either manually or mechanically
using ropeways & buckets or conveyor systems.
• RMC at Pune in the year 1991. However, due to various pit falls and problems this plant did
not survive for long and was closed.
• Within a couple of months in the year 1993, two RMC plant were set up in Mumbai to
commercially sell RMC to the projects where they were installed.
• These plants were later allowed to sell RMC to other projects also.
• Thus RMC was successfully established sometime after 1994 in India.

Concrete
• Shrink Mixed Concrete
• Central Mixed Concrete
J
HTRANSIT MIXED (OR "TRUCK-MIXED") CONCRETE
• While ready mixed concrete can be delivered to the point of placement in a variety of ways,
the overwhelming majority of it is brought to the construction site in truck-mounted, rotating
drum mixers.
SHRINK MIXED CONCRETE
• Concrete that is partially mixed in a plant mixer and then discharged into the drum of the
truck mixer for completion of the mixing is called shrink mixed concrete.
CENTRAL MIXED CONCRETE
• Central-mixing concrete batch plants include a stationary, plant-mounted mixer that mixes the
concrete before it is discharged into a truck mixer. Central-mix plants are sometimes referred
to as wet batch or pre-mix plants. The truck mixer is used primarily as an agitating haul unit at
a central mix operation.

• Water absorption
a. Coarse aggregate: 0.28 %
b. Fine aggregate: 0.59 %
• Free (surface) moisture
a. Coarse aggregate: Nil
b. Fine aggregate: 2.0 % 57
• Sieve analysis
a. Coarse aggregate: Conforming to Table 2 of IS 383
MIX DESIGN FOR M50 GRADE:
STEP 1:
Target mean strength for mix proportioning
• fm= fck +1.65*standard deviation
• From Table 1 of IS 10262:2009 standard deviation, s = 6.4 N/mm2
(For very good control)
• Therefore target strength = 50+1.65 x6.4 = 60.56 N/mm2
STEP 2:
Selection of w/ c ratio
• Water - cement ratio (from Fig. 2) = 0.35 (using data from above).
• Maximum water - cement ratio specified for durability condition = 0.45 (fromTable-6.5).
• Water cement ratio to be adopted for concrete = 0.45 (Lower of 4.5).
• Water content from Table -6.8 = 180 (for a workability of 0.80 C F).
• Sand as percentage of total aggregate by absolute volume from Table-6.8 = 25% For W/C ratio of 0.35.
• Adjustment of water content (using table-6.9) (For C F of 0.90) = 180 + .03 x 180 = 185.4 kg/m3.
• Adjustment for sand content (using Table -6.9) 25% - 3.0% = 22% (for W/C of 0.45)
• Modified water content = 185.4 liters
• Modified sand content = 22%
• Cement content = 185.4/0.45=412 kg/m3
• Minimum Cement content = 350 kg/m3 (from Table-6.5 specified for durability Condition).
• Required Cement content = 412 kg/m3 (Higher of above value).
• Entrapped air, as percentage of volume of concrete = 2%.
• From Table 5 of IS 456, minimum cement content for Extreme exposure condition = 360 kg/m3, Hence ok.
STEP 3&4 : DETERMINATION OF COARSE
AND FINE AGGREGATE CONTENT:
• V= [W + C/SC + 1/P*Fagg/SFine] x 1/1000
• V= [W + C/SC + 1/ (1-P)*Cagg/SCoarse] x 1/1000
For the Specified Max. Size of aggregate of 20 mm, the amount of entrapped air in the wet concrete is 2%.
Amount of Fine aggregate, Fa required
• 1 m3 = [185.4 + 412/3.15 + 1/0.315* Fagg/2.59] x 1/1000
• Fa =630 kg/m3.
Amount of Coarse aggregate, Ca required
• 1 m3 = [185.4 + 412/3.15 + 1/ (1-0.315)* Cagg/2.60] x 1/1000
• Ca = 1377 kg/m3.
J
K
HThe Mix Proportion then becomes
• Water = 185.4 kg/m3
• Cement = 412 Kg/m3
• Fine Aggregate = 630 Kg/m3
• Coarse Aggregate = 1377 Kg/m3
• Mix proportions for making 1 cu.m of concrete:
Water Cement Fine aggregate Coarse aggregate
185.4 kg/m3 412 Kg/m3 630 Kg/m3 1377 Kg/m3
MERITS AND DEMERITS:
MERITS OF RMC
• 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.
• Labour associated with production of concrete is eliminated.
• Time required is greatly reduced.
• Noise and dust pollution at site is reduced.
• Organization at site is more streamlined.
• Durable & Affordable
• No storage space required either for raw materials or for the mix.
• Lower labour and supervisory cost.
• No wastage at site.
• Environment friendly.
• Availability of concrete of any grade.
DEMERITS OF RMC:
• Need huge initial investment.
• Not affordable for small projects (small quantity of concrete)
• Needs effective transportation system from R.M.C to site.
• Traffic jam or failure of vehicle creates problem if proper dose of
retarder is not given.
OPERATIONALASPECT:
• NEEDS TO BE SPECIFIED BY CONSUMER FOR RMC.
• INFORMATION TO BE SUPPLIED BY THE PRODUCER.
• CHECKS BY CONSUMER BEFORE ORDERING THE RMC.
• CHECKS NEEDED AT SITE PRIOR TO RECEIPT OF RMC.
• CHECKS NEEDED AT SITE DURING CONCRETING.
• THE UNNECESSARY RESTRICTIONS ON SUPPLIERS OF RMC BY
PURCHASER.
• THE CONSTRAINTS FACED BY RMC PRODUCERS AT PRESENT.
CONCLUSION:
• The concrete quality produced in RMC plant is highly consistent with low deviation order.
• It provides a high degree of overall strength of hardened concrete and the performance of the structure at a later date.
• RMC operations are highly mechanized and fully controlled through electronic controls and hence reduce the probability of
errors in various operations.
• It is also environment friendly and brings down pollution due to dust at construction can also be accelerate with the use of
RMC.
• The use RMC in civil construction is widely adopted throughout the world.
• The beginning made in India is in tune with the developments outside and RMC uses provide numerous benefits to the
consumers.
• Conventional approach to durable concrete structures, namely specifying maximum water cement ratio, minimum cement
content and cement type, is now always satisfactory, especially under aggressive environmental condition.
• Site manufactured concrete cannot assure the same quality of concrete and that from controlled ready mix batching plant
backed by advanced technology and project management.
• The advantages of RMC are particularly evident in construction projects with aggressive exposure conditions.

OBJECTIVE: • The main objective to choose this topic is that an engineer should have the knowledge of advantages of RMC and disadvantages of Site mixed concrete. • As RMC is being widely used in bigger and medium size of projects today, Engineer should be aware of the technicality of the RMC and the operational work, to ensure the quality of work and the Site Engineer should know what are the steps to be taken to check the concrete in RMC, what is required to be specified for RMC, what is the information required to be supplied by the RMC supplier, what checks are necessary by the consumer before ordering RMC, what are the checks needed at site prior and after to receipt of RMC.
  • 5. NECESSITY: Normally the concrete operation carried out in India, is of site mixed, which is having some disadvantages which are shown below: • Quality Assurance not guaranteed. • Constant control on aggregates for size, shape & grading not exercised on site. • Arbitrary batching and mixing by volume. Strict water-cement ratio not exercised. • Wastage of materials. • Retarded speed. • Concreting operations prolonged beyond day light without proper lighting. • Manual operation. • Speed restricted depending on mixers. • Restricted spaces. • Storages of aggregates and cement. • Blocking of roads / approaches • Dust pollution
  • 6. HISTORY: • The Idea of Ready Mix Concrete (RMC) was first introduced by Architect Jurgen Heinrich Magens, he got his patent of RMC in Germany in 1903. • In 1907, he discovered that the available time for transportation could be prolonged not only by cooling fresh concrete but also by vibrating it during transportation. So this gave rise to a concrete which is made in the off site. • The first concrete mixed off site and delivered to a construction site was effectively done in Baltimore, United States in 1913, just before the First World War. • The first concept of transit mixer was also born in 1926 in the United States. • Between the years 1950 and 1980 considerable growth of RMC took place in the United States with the maximum supply of 31 million cubic meters in the year 1974.
  • 7. RMC IN INDIA: • In India RMC was first initially was used in 1950 during the construction sites of Dams like Bhakra Nangal, Koyna. • At the construction the transportation of concrete is done by either manually or mechanically using ropeways & buckets or conveyor systems. • RMC at Pune in the year 1991. However, due to various pit falls and problems this plant did not survive for long and was closed. • Within a couple of months in the year 1993, two RMC plant were set up in Mumbai to commercially sell RMC to the projects where they were installed. • These plants were later allowed to sell RMC to other projects also. • Thus RMC was successfully established sometime after 1994 in India.

  • 11. J HTRANSIT MIXED (OR "TRUCK-MIXED") CONCRETE • While ready mixed concrete can be delivered to the point of placement in a variety of ways, the overwhelming majority of it is brought to the construction site in truck-mounted, rotating drum mixers. SHRINK MIXED CONCRETE • Concrete that is partially mixed in a plant mixer and then discharged into the drum of the truck mixer for completion of the mixing is called shrink mixed concrete. CENTRAL MIXED CONCRETE • Central-mixing concrete batch plants include a stationary, plant-mounted mixer that mixes the concrete before it is discharged into a truck mixer. Central-mix plants are sometimes referred to as wet batch or pre-mix plants. The truck mixer is used primarily as an agitating haul unit at a central mix operation.

  • 15. MIX DESIGN FOR M50 GRADE: STEP 1: Target mean strength for mix proportioning • fm= fck +1.65*standard deviation • From Table 1 of IS 10262:2009 standard deviation, s = 6.4 N/mm2 (For very good control) • Therefore target strength = 50+1.65 x6.4 = 60.56 N/mm2
  • 16. STEP 2: Selection of w/ c ratio • Water - cement ratio (from Fig. 2) = 0.35 (using data from above). • Maximum water - cement ratio specified for durability condition = 0.45 (fromTable-6.5). • Water cement ratio to be adopted for concrete = 0.45 (Lower of 4.5). • Water content from Table -6.8 = 180 (for a workability of 0.80 C F). • Sand as percentage of total aggregate by absolute volume from Table-6.8 = 25% For W/C ratio of 0.35. • Adjustment of water content (using table-6.9) (For C F of 0.90) = 180 + .03 x 180 = 185.4 kg/m3. • Adjustment for sand content (using Table -6.9) 25% - 3.0% = 22% (for W/C of 0.45) • Modified water content = 185.4 liters • Modified sand content = 22% • Cement content = 185.4/0.45=412 kg/m3 • Minimum Cement content = 350 kg/m3 (from Table-6.5 specified for durability Condition). • Required Cement content = 412 kg/m3 (Higher of above value). • Entrapped air, as percentage of volume of concrete = 2%. • From Table 5 of IS 456, minimum cement content for Extreme exposure condition = 360 kg/m3, Hence ok.
