INTRODUCTION
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 between routes 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.
HISTORY
Ready mix concrete was first patented in Germany in 1903, its commercial delivery was not possible due to lack of transportation needs. The first commercial delivery was made in Baltimore USA in 1913.The first revolving drum type transit In 1931, a RMC plant was set up .mixer was developed in 1926 for the construction of Heathrow airport, London. In the mid 90s there were about 1100 RMC plants in UK consuming about 45% of cement produced in that country. In Europe in 1997 there were 5850 companies producing a total of 305 million In USA by 1990, around 72% (more than 2/3rdof .cusecs of RMC cement produced was being used by various RMC plants. In Japan first RMC plant was set up in 1949. By 1992 Japan was the then largest producer of RMC, producing 18196 million tons of concrete. In many other countries of the world including some of the developing countries like Taiwan, Malaysia etc., RMC .industry is well developed.
MERITS OF R. M. C.
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. Labor 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 labor and supervisory cost No wastage at site/Environment friendly Availability of concrete of any grade
DEMERITS OF R. M. C.
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. Labors should be ready on site to cast the concrete in position to vibrate it and compact it.
CONCLUSION
Ready Mix Concrete plant is a modern technique of production of concrete in large quantities away from the actual site of placing. It is very useful in cities where demand of concrete is very high and construction sites are in congested areas where mixing on site is not possible. It is suitable for projects like Dam, Roads, Bridges, commercial complex, Malls and all types of mass construction where time limit plays a vital role and where demand is huge.
