Ready Mix Concrete
Concrete is a mixture composed of cement, aggregates (both coarse and fine), water, and some additional ingredients. Once water is added to the cement and aggregates, it creates a liquid mixture that can be easily poured. As the water reacts with the cement, it gradually hardens into a solid structure within a few hours. The hardened concrete is then delivered to construction locations in specialized trucks known as concrete mixers.
The product under study is 1 m3 of Ready-Mix Concrete having compressive strength of 35MPa and average density of 2379.6 kg/m3 manufactured by Al Yamama Ready Mix Concrete Factory in Saudi Arabia Five concrete designs variants based on the same compressive strength have been included in the study:
