The document discusses various types of concrete, concrete equipment, and special concretes. It begins by defining concrete as a mixture of cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, and water. It then discusses different types of equipment used to produce and transport concrete, including concrete batching plants, concrete pumps, mixers, and ready mix concrete (RMC) plants. It also covers special types of concrete like lightweight concrete, no fine concrete, fiber reinforced concrete, and others.
A concrete batching plant combines various ingredients like sand, aggregate, water, fly ash, admixtures, and cement to produce concrete. There are two main types: ready mix plants which mix dry ingredients at the plant and add water in the truck, and central mix plants which fully mix all ingredients at the plant. A batching plant has various components like mixers, aggregate batchers, conveyors, and a control system. Common mixer types are pan, twin shaft, and tilting drum. Batching plants offer precise mixing and are used to produce concrete for large construction projects. Mobile batch plants also exist to provide on-site concrete production. Transit mixers are trucks that transport freshly mixed concrete to job sites.
Ready-mix concrete is a ready-to-use material consisting of predetermined mixtures of cement, sand, aggregates and water. It is manufactured in a batching plant according to given proportions, then delivered in trucks with mixers to the work site. This results in precise mixtures that allow specialized concrete to be used on construction sites. Each batch is tailored to the contractor's specifications and delivered in a plastic state in cylindrical trucks. Ready-mix concrete is sometimes preferred over on-site mixing due to its ability to precisely control mixtures and reduce work site confusion.
This document discusses various types of equipment used in concrete production and construction projects. It describes mixers like hand fed tilting drum mixers and loader fed tilting drum mixers used to mix concrete constituents. Other equipment mentioned include concrete pumps to transport liquid concrete, vibrators to compact concrete by removing air bubbles, crushers for demolishing and recycling waste concrete, and conveyors for horizontally or vertically transporting concrete. Weigh batchers, boom placers, pavers, and tanks are also briefly outlined.

What are the Different Types of Ready Mix ConcreteArkihive
Concrete is a mixture of Portland cement, water, and coarse & fine aggregates mixed at the site. RMC as opposed to site concrete is mixed in a central batching or a mixing plant which is then transported in a truck-mixer and supplied in fresh condition to the site. RMC has the same composition & proportion as traditional concrete, since it is manufactured in a plant it has the added advantage of mixing concrete in precise proportions. This improves the concrete mix and standardizes the quality. This concrete mix is supplied in terms of cubic meters.
In this Slides definition,types and manufacturing of Ready Mixed Concrete(RMC) has been discussed. This will be of great help to the students of civil engineering. They will find it more handy and easily understandable. This will also help to Teachers and professionals.

IntroductionFew things are more aggravating to produce on a worksi.pdfsinghanubhav1234
Introduction
Few things are more aggravating to produce on a worksite than concrete. Bags of cement, sand,
aggregate (gravel) and possibly other additives must be delivered to the construction area. A
supply of clean water is also necessary, along with a rented concrete mixing hopper. Even after
all the dusty and heavy ingredients have been loaded into the hopper, one small error in the
wet/dry ratio can render an entire batch of concrete unusable. One common solution to this
messy and time-consuming problem is “READY MIX CONCRETE”.
Ready-mix concrete (RMC) is a ready-to-use material, with predetermined mixture of cement,
sand, aggregates and water. RMC is a type of concrete manufactured in a factory according to a
set recipe or as per specifications of the customer, at a centrally located batching plant.
It is delivered to a worksite, often in truck mixers capable of mixing the ingredients of the
concrete en route or just before delivery of the batch. This results in a precise mixture, allowing
specialty concrete mixtures to be developed and implemented on construction sites. 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.
In the case of the centrally mixed type, the drum carrying the concrete revolves slowly so as to
prevent the mixed concrete from \"segregation\" and prevent its stiffening due to initial set.
However, in the case of the truck-mixed concrete, the batched materials (sand, gravel and
cement) are carried and water is added just at the time of mixing. In this case the cement remains
in contact with the wet or moist material and this phase cannot exceed the permissible period,
which is normally 90 minutes.
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.

Manufacturing process of ready mix concrete.
Procedure –
Materials required for RMC –
Admixture: A substance added to the basic concrete mixture to alter one or more properties of
the concrete; i.e. fibrous materials for reinforcing, water repellent treatments, and coloring
compounds.
Aggregate: Inert particles (i.e. gravel, sand, and stone) added to cement and water to form
concrete.
Cement: Dry powder that reacts chemically with water to bind the particles of aggregate,
forming concrete. Portland cement is typically used in concrete production.
Fly ash: Fly ash is a by-product from coal-fired electricity generating power plants. The coal
used in these power plants is mainly composed of combustible elements such as carbon,
hydrogen and oxygen (nitrogen and sulfur being minor elements), and non-combustible
impurities (10 to 40%) usually present in the form of clay, shale, quartz, feldspar and limestone.

Concrete is a composite material made of cement, water, aggregates, and in some cases admixtures. The cement and water form a paste that binds the aggregates together when hardened. Concrete can be molded into various shapes and is one of the most widely used construction materials in the world due to its versatility, strength, and availability of constituents. Concrete is commonly classified according to its binding material, design, or purpose. Common types include cement concrete, reinforced concrete, pre-stressed concrete, vacuum concrete, and lightweight concrete.

Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

4. Concrete is a homogenous mixture of Cement,
Fine aggregate, Coarse aggregate and Water.
Cement is a binding material manufactured by
grinding calcareous and argillaceous materials,
mixing them intimately in certain proportions
depending upon their purity and composition
and burning them in kiln at temp. about 1300-
1500˚c, at which material sinters and forms
clinker. The clinker is cooled and ground to fine
powder with addition of about 3-5% of gypsum.
The product is a Portland Cement

5. Concrete Batching Plant
• Concrete batching plants basically used to process
the materials to form concrete.
• It mixes all the materials like sand, gravels,
cement and water to form a better solution that
should be sent to construction site.
• Concrete batching plants divided into types
according to their working capacity from 20 to
120 cum/hr and they are famous for their mobility
as a mobile concrete batcher.
• Batching can be done by Volume or by Weight.

6. • Volumetric batching can be done by Gauge boxes [Grid boxes]
or Farmas. Weigh batching is done by weigh batcher, these are
the mixers equipped with weighing balance.
• Volumetric batching is not correct method as like as weigh
batching.
• Cement is always measured by weight and never be measured
by volume.

7. Concrete Pumps
• Concrete pumps are one of the fastest
construction machines that get fame in
construction market because of their reliability
and cost-effectiveness.
• Concrete pumps save labor costs, time and
materials with high power electric suction
machine used for pumping the concrete from
mixer and send it direct to construction site.
Prepared for
tusharhsonawane.wordpress.com

9. • A majority of the concrete pumps are of the direct-acting, horizontal piston-
type with semi-rotary valves. The operation of the direct- acting pump is
simple.
• The concrete is fed into the pump by gravity and partly by suction created due
to the reciprocating motion of the horizontally acting piston, while the semi-
rotary valves open and close alternately.
• Suction pressure of the order of 0.08 N/mm2 is developed in the pumping
cylinder under favorable conditions.
• The concrete moves in a series of impulses, the delivery pipe always
remaining full. Outputs of up to 60 m3/h can be achieved in modern pumps
through 220-mm diameter delivery pipes.

10. • Squeeze type pumps are smaller portable peristaltic type pumps.
The concrete from the collecting hopper is fed by rotating blades
into a flexible pipe connected to the pumping chamber, which is
under a vacuum of about 0.08 N/mm2.
• The vacuum ensures that, except when being squeezed by the
rotating rollers, the pipe shape remains cylindrical and thus permits
a continuous flow of concrete.
• The two rotating rollers mounted on planetary drives progressively
squeeze the flexible pipe and thus push the concrete into the
delivery pipe. Outputs of up to 20 m3/h can be obtained with
squeeze pumps using 75-mm diameter pipelines.

lean mixes, which present
difficulties with most other
type of mixers, mainly due to
sticking of mortar in the
drum.
Pan Mixer
14. Batch Mixer
1. Non-Tilting Mixer
Single drum rotating about
a horizontal axis. Fixed
blades work the concrete
towards the discharge end
of the mixer, in order to
provide a rapid rate of
discharge.

and a shaft. It is used for uniform mixing of concrete of already
mixed concrete during its transit.
• It has a wide range of application specially for mass concreting
works like Construction of Canals, Bridges, Highways, Dams,
Multi-storeyed & Industrial Buildings, Factories, Airports and for
Ready Mixed Concrete Works (R.M.C.), etc.
A Transit Mixer can perform the following 3 functions :-
1. It can mix coarse aggregates , fine aggregates, cement and water
while it is moving or stationary.
2. It can prevent segregation of already mixed concrete during transit
by agitation, as a result of slow revolution of drum.
3. It can completely mix the ‘shrink mixed’ concrete i.e. the concrete
which is partially mixed in central batching plant and mixing plant
while it is moving or stationary.

21. Working of Mixer
• The revolving drum is used to mix all the
components of concrete.
• Inside the mixer, an operator feeds data into
the mixer and several augers feed aggregate
and cement together.
• Water is added to the mix and larger augers
blend the components and the number of
revolutions should be 70-100 rpm.

23. • Concrete is produced in industrial plants containing
storage facilities and equipment designed for the
purpose of blending the raw materials in desired
proportions. That mixture, which becomes concrete,
is then loaded into mixer trucks. (Agitator Trucks)
• The majority of concrete production facilities are
located nearby areas where concrete is used; taking
into account its setting time, concrete prepared at the
batch plant, must be delivered to its destination within
an hour and a half.
• A concrete factory must be located within a radius of
20 to 30 km from the work site, depending on traffic
conditions.
Prepared for
tusharhsonawane.wordpress.com
23
24. • A ready-mix concrete plant consists of silos that contain
cement, sand, gravel and storage tanks of additives such
as plasticizers, as well as a mixer to blend the
components of concrete.
• These components are gravity fed into the preparation
bin. The quality of concrete can be maintained only if
the formulation is carefully administered.
• The water dosage in particular must be very precise and
the mixing itself must remain continuous and
consistent.
• To accommodate all of these constraints, the concrete
plants have been automated to ensure reliability
throughout the manufacturing process.
• Finally, the concrete prepared in a batch plant is loaded
into a mixer truck, also known as a transit mixer, which
delivers it to the construction site.

40. • Lightweight aggregate may consist of processed shale,
clay, clinker, or other material.
• The production includes a burning process where the
material expands and as a result has less density (weight
per unit volume).
• Due to this expansion, some lightweight aggregate may
be very absorptive.
• Such aggregate may require pre-wetting prior to
concrete batching.
• Because of the high water absorption of lightweight
aggregate, the air content of the mixture is measured
using ASTM C 173 “Standard Test Method for Air
Content of Freshly Mixed Concrete by the Volumetric
Method.”
• This method is necessary since the standard pressure
method will give false readings

56. Essential Properties of Self Compacting Concrete
1. Filling Ability
It is the property of Self Compacting Concrete to flow into and fill all
spaces within the formwork completely under its own weight without any
honeycombing.
If Self Compacting Concrete is satisfying this test, that means one can be
sure about its property to fill the form completely and can believe on ‘Pour
and forget.’
2. Passing Ability
It is the property of the Self Compacting Concrete to pass through congested
reinforcement without blocking.
As one of the distinct advantages of Self Compacting Concrete is that it can
use in the situation of congested reinforcement, it has to satisfy the test of
passing ability.
3. Segregation Resistance (Stability)
It is the ability of Self Compacting Concrete to remain stable in
composition.
SCC being flowing in nature, it must satisfy this property.

• Ferro cement is a type of thin wall reinforced concrete, commonly
constructed of hydraulic cement mortar, reinforced with closely
spaced layers of continuous and relatively small size wire mesh. The
mesh may be made of metallic or other suitable materials.”
• Mortar provides the mass and wire mesh imparts tensile strength and
ductility. When building Ferro-cement structures the sand/cement
mortar is applied to the reinforcing wire with a trowel, never poured
like common concrete work. Often a form is used to provide the
desired shape.
• Ferro-cement is a super reinforced concrete. It differs from
conventional concrete in that there is a higher ratio of steel to
cement mortar.
• Ferro-cement has many of the properties of steel and yet it will not
rust. Although it looks and feels like concrete it can flex without
cracking.
