- Synopsis
- This report describes the results of the realities investigations of ready-mixed concrete and the quality assessment examinations using the aggregates collected from ready mixed concrete olants. The plant investigation showed the realities of the water content, cement content and water-cement ratio in a standard admixture. The influence which the aggregate exerted on compressive strength, the modulus of Young's elasticity, autogenous shrinkage, drying shrinkage and coefficient of thermal expansion was clarified by the examinations. Notes in construction were described to the results of the investigations and the examinations.
