2. Ready-mix concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ready-mix_concrete

   Batching and mixing is done under controlled conditions. In the UK, ready-mixed concrete is specified either informally, by constituent weight or volume (1-2-4 or 1-3-6 being common mixes) or using the formal specification standards of the European standard EN 206+ A1, which is supplemented in the UK by BS 8500. This allows the customer to ...

4. Types of concrete - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Types_of_concrete

   The parts are in terms of weight – not volume. For example, 1-cubic-foot (0.028 m 3) of concrete would be made using 22 lb (10.0 kg) cement, 10 lb (4.5 kg) water, 41 lb (19 kg) dry sand, 70 lb (32 kg) dry stone (1/2" to 3/4" stone). This would make 1-cubic-foot (0.028 m 3) of concrete and would weigh about 143 lb (65 kg). The sand should be ...

   0.75 m³ (1 cubic yard) cart-away mixing trailer. A variant of standard concrete transportation is the concrete (or, cement) mixing trailer. These small versions of transit-mix trucks are used to supply short loads of concrete. They have a concrete mixing drum with a capacity of between 0.76 and 1.34 cubic metres (1 and 1.75 cu yd).

6. Water–cement ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water–cement_ratio

   A w/c ratio higher than 0.60 is not acceptable as fresh concrete becomes "soup" [2] and leads to a higher porosity and to very poor quality hardened concrete as publicly stated by Prof. Gustave Magnel (1889-1955, Ghent University, Belgium) during an official address to American building contractors at the occasion of one of his visits in the ...

7. Volumetric concrete mixer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_concrete_mixer

   Volumetric concrete mixers can produce exactly the amount of concrete needed when it is needed at any time. [1] Some concrete suppliers offer general purpose concrete batched in a volumetric mixer as a practical alternative to ready-mix if quantities and schedules are not fully known, to eliminate waste and prevent premature stiffening of the mix.
