Production of concrete A good quality concrete is essentially a homogeneous mixture of cement, coarse and fineaggregates and water which consolidates into a hard mass due to chemical action between the cement and water. Each of the four constituents has a specific function. The coarser aggregate acts as a filler. The fine aggregate fills up the voids between the paste and the coarse aggregate. The cement in conjunction with water acts as a binder. The mobility of the mixture is aided by the cement paste, fines and nowadays, increasingly by the use of admixtures.The stages of concrete productionare:Batching or measurement of materials, Mixing, Transporting, Placing, Compacting, Curing andFinishing. - Study24x7
