Ready Mix Concrete - Definition
“Ready mix concrete is concrete whose components are proportioned away from the construction site for delivery to the construction site by the truck in a ready-to-use-condition.”
History
In 1909, the residents of Sneridan, Wyoming could have witnessed the birth of Ready Mix concrete industry.
Prior to World War I, concrete was produced in stationery plant mixer hauled to construction sites in dumps trucks.
Transit Mixer in late 1950’s
Need for Ready Mix concrete
Requirement for higher grades of concrete Correct accountability ingredients Rapid development of infrastructure industry Increased demand of concrete Possibility of manufacture of desired grades Mega project demands higher output Timely supply of reliable concrete
Progressive growth of Ready mix concrete in India

Advantages Of Ready Mix Concrete
Quality assurance Elimination of manual errors Mass production of concrete possible Water cement ratio maintained Reduced material wastage Labour cost saved Design mix as per IS standards resulting in standard
deviation and improved characteristics.
Disadvantages Of Ready Mix Concrete
The materials are batched at a central plant, and the mixing begins at that plant
Generation of additional road traffic; furthermore, access roads, and site access have to be able to carry the weight of the truck and load.
Concrete's limited time span between mixing and going-off
