What is ready mix concrete?
Ready-mix concrete is a pre-mixed blend of cement, aggregates, and water that is delivered to the job site in a ready-to-use condition. This ensures consistency and saves time compared to mixing concrete on site.
What is the role of aggregates in concrete?
Aggregates like sand, gravel, and crushed stone are the main components of concrete, providing bulk, strength, and stability to the mix.
What is the difference between concrete and cement?
Cement is a binding agent, a fine powder that reacts with water to form a hard, stone-like material. Concrete is a mixture of cement, aggregates (like sand and gravel), and water.
Are there any environmental considerations when using concrete?
Concrete production has environmental impacts, but using sustainable practices like recycled aggregates and energy-efficient production can mitigate those impacts.
