Standard Concrete is a type of concrete which is generally mixed and made in a central plant and not at the construction site. This concrete is generally mixed based on the type of construction work being done and its specific requirements. Hence choosing a company specializing in Standard Concrete will give you a far more superior quality concrete than others for your construction purposes.
In fact, in traditional concrete, it is almost impossible to achieve the perfect grading and water-cement aggregate. Using RMC however, ensures that there is a consistency maintained in the quality.
M10, M15, M20, M25, M30, M40The range of densities of Light Weight Concrete varies from 600-1800 kgs/ cum. A large portion of the load taken into account while designing a structure comes from the self weight of the concrete used. The ability to reduce this self weight of concrete, especially for non-structural applications, results in good financial planning by way of reduced manpower and framework cost etc.
Fibre Reinforced Concrete is concrete containing fibres which increases its structural integrity. Depending upon application various fibres like Steel and Synthetic Fibres are used.
Fiber has always played an important role in reinforcing concrete since prehistoric ages. The use of straw in mud bricks and reinforcing them with horsehair is a well-known tradition being followed since ages. With time, the technology has improved and we are getting more options for reinforced concrete. As for example, in the twentieth century, asbestos fibers were added to cement to reinforce it
With the construction industry on the verge of experiencing a vertical direction boom, there is a huge scarcity of land as against the demands of an ever-growing population especially in metros and other cities which are undergoing accelerated development. Thus the existing infrastructure is reeling under immense pressure. This is where the use of Early High Strength Concrete becomes mandatory.
The mixing of specific proportions of the ready mix concrete had best be left to your supplier even if you know the basics. Knowing the basics will enable you to help the supplier in case he makes a mistake. Suppliers who are already established and have a thorough knowledge of both light weight concrete and High Strength Concrete are even able to alter the mix of the ingredients of ready mixed concrete, based on your requirements. These slight changes are done on the basis of the feedback received go a long way in enhancing the performance of these ready mixed concrete
