Ready Mix Concrete - Aggelos B. Peppas, Aspropyrgos

Concrete is a composite material composed of fine and coarse aggregate bonded together with cement and water. It can be formed with or without the incorporation of admixtures. Ready-mix batch plants manufacture concrete which is then delivered to the construction sites in a liquid state. Concrete is hardened via the hydration of cement which consists a chemical reaction. Cement is the main raw material in the production of concrete as it comprises the finely ground powder which adheres to other materials and retains its strength underwater.
