placed in a cube and allowed to dry forming the concrete testing cube. Each of the four blocks containing different compositions of each material were then placed in a compressive testing machine and when each cube yielded‚ results were taken. Effect of water content on workability of fresh concrete: As more water was added to the dry mixture‚ it became easier to work with but we had to be careful not to add to much water or this would weaken the concrete and possible ruin the mixture.

Due to such a low tensile capacity‚ flexural cracks develop at early stages of loading. In order to reduce or prevent such cracks from developing‚ a concentric or eccentric force is imposed in the longitudinal direction of the structural element. This force prevents the cracks

RMC or Ready mixed concrete or concrete is manufactured at a batching plant or factory. The mixed concrete is made to a set recipe‚ and then delivered to the desired workplace/worksite by the help of transit mixers. This results in ready mixed concretes which have a precise mixture‚ and this helps achieve specialty concretes to be developed and used on the construction sites. HZS150 Batching Plant Today‚ RMC plants are playing a very important role in building road and civil structures. These RMC
