WHAT IS READY-MIXED CONCRETE?
Concrete is an important building material which is formed by mixing the
aggregate (fine and coarse aggregate), cement and water with or without the
addition of chemical and mineral additives, homogeneously in accordance with
the production technology, with plastic consistency at the beginning and
solidifying and strengthening with time.
Ready-mixed concrete is prepared by a non-user person or organization and
delivered in fresh condition. The concrete prepared by the user outside the
construction site and the concrete prepared by the persons or organizations
other than the user in the construction site are included in the definition of
“ready-mixed concrete”. The concrete produced by the user only within the
construction site for its own use falls within the definition of “concrete
manufactured at the construction site”.
Ready-mixed concrete designed with scientific methods should be produced
and controlled according to the standards in modern facilities which make the
component weighing automatically by weight method. There are 5 fundamental
steps which determine the quality of ready-mixed concrete: • Design •
Production • Transportation • Placement • Maintenance and Cure
The first three steps are carried out by the ready-mixed concrete producer, and
the last two steps are carried out by the consumer. Today, there is no other
construction material taht is used as frequaently as ready-mixed concrete.
Benefits and Advantages of Ready-mixed Concrete • Fast • Continuous
availability • Possibility of control at every stage • Optimum material usage •
Time and cost saving • Environmentally friendly
What are the Components of Ready-mixed Concrete? The raw materials that
make concrete are aggregate, cement, water, chemical and mineral additives.
Cement : 13 % Water: % 7 Aggregate: % 80 According to TS EN 206-1 readymix
concrete standard the conformity to own standards of all component
materials must be shown.

AGGREGATE Aggregates, which are the
most used component of concrete in
volume, must be stored as produced
according to related product standard
at ready-mix concrete facilities
properly. Aggregatesö which have the
lowest water absorption value, and do
not produce enlarging materials in
concrete with cement in time, have
relatively cubic particleshape are
quality aggregates. Particle size can be
adjusted at aggregate production
facilities as needed.
CEMENT They are inorganic and finely
ground hydraulic binders that form a
hardening paste when mixed with
water and maintain its strength and
stability even under water after
hardening. The most suitable cement
type for ready-mixed concrete
producers is cement which is the most
compatible with aggregate and
chemical additives and provides the
best response to customer
expectations, providing the lowest
cement usage provided that it is based
on concrete classifications.
MIXING WATER In addition to the
mixing water added during the
concrete production phase, addition of
more water should be prevented at the
place of use.

CONCRETE ADDITIVE MATERIALS Today, besides the additives that decrease the
concrete water requirement and therefore provide more strength and
economy, chemicals that affect many properties of concrete such as resistance
speed, air content, impermeability, shrinkage etc. are used. Thanks to the
chemical additives, it is possible to produce concretes that do not shrink
anymore, are self-locating, are not affected by aggregate reactivity, are
prevented from reinforcement corrosion and have superior strength.
READY-MIXED CONCRETE CLASSES Classification in TS EN 206-1 ready mixed
concrete standard is, the environmental impact classes according to the
exposed area, consistency classes, aggregate largest grain classes, compressive
strength classes and classification dependent on density. The compressive
strength classes that are the most known and used ones among these classes
are given below.
READY-MIXED CONCRETE PRODUCTION STATIONS Concrete Plant is a facility
where ready-mixed concrete components are stored, mixed under control,
concrete is produced and filled into transmixers. Concrete plants are divided
into two as wet and dry mixes according to mix form and bunk and star type
according to storage form.
WET SYSTEM READY-MIXED CONCRETE PRODUCTION The wet system readymixed
concrete production is done by the mixing method in the central mixer in
the concrete plant. The fresh concrete, which is prepared as all components in
the concrete design recipies in accordance with the standards are mixed in
concrete plants that have automation system, is transported by means of
transmixers to the delivery site that is determined by the customer. Initiation
and completion of the mixing process of the concrete materials are done in the
central mixer in the concrete plant. The mixers used for this purpose are
generally forced palet mixers.
least 5 minutes at the mixing cycle of the transmixer (at least 10 rpm).

LABORATORY STUDIES
As Iberia ready-mix concrete, we have adapted production with globally
accepted quality and satandards, and doing research and development studies
in this direction as our principle to improve the ready-mix concrete sector
which has an important potential in the field of construction in Northern Iraq
and Baghdad region.
In our company we value laboratory and team work in high quality concrete
production. Before procurement of the materials, the raw materials that are
required to be delivered to the fieldare tested onsite and previous test results
are checked. The physical and chemical tests of aggregates, cement and
chemical additives that are delivered to the concrete field are done as daily,
weekly and monthly periods. Compliance reports and mixture formulations are
prepared. During concrete production phase, the factors that may affect the
continuity of production in desired consistency and quality in the concrete plant
are detected and corrected by the labaratory team.
Another important point for concrete is the usage of chemical additives that
remove the seasonal effects affecting quality and strength. The specifications,
effects, and usage rates are determined appropriately to the standards by the
laboratory team and usage reports are prepared. It comprises technical staff
and equipment to detect harmful effects after concrete production while
transporting and to instantly deal with possible negative situations. It is our
duty to make fresh concrete tests during concrete pouring and collecting
suitable samples from field, keeping these samples in water pools, applying 7
and 28-day pressure tests on samples at appropriate dates and reporting these
to our valuable customers. Besides the concrete, which is the product of our
R&D and quality studies, that has high strength and conforms global standards,
lightweight concrete that has low unit weights (400 -1750 kg/m³ ) and foam
concrete are at your service for your special and sensitive constructions. It is
necessary to take into consideration the environment, and diversity of
constructions during concrete production. After determining these conditions
and project details, various concrete classes in different standards are included
in the production plans subsequently intense R&D and quality controls.

PILES
Precast Reinforced Concrete Piles:
Precast Concrete Piles may be defined as a reinforced concrete pile, which is
moulded in circular, square, rectangular or octagonal form. The precast concrete
piles are cast and cured in a casting yard and then transported to the site for
driving. Piles can be cast and cured near the work-site if there is a long distance.In
case space is available, pile can also be cast and cured near the site of works. They
are driven in a similar manner as timber piles with the help of pile drivers. Iberia
Company provides a big range of precast concrete piles
Driven or displacement piles They are usually pre-formed before being driven,
jacked, screwed or hammered into the ground. This category consists of driven
piles of steel or precast concrete and piles formed by driving tubes or shells
which are fitted with a driving shoe. The tubes or shells are filled with concrete
after driving.The tubes or shells which are filled with concrete after driving. Also
included in this category are piles formed by placing concrete as the driven piles
are withdrawn.
Bored or Replacement piles They require a hole to be first bored into which the
pile is then formed usually of reinforced concrete. The shaft (bore) may be eased
or uncased depending upon type of soil.
• Concrete piles may be precast, prestressed, cast in place, or of composite construction.
• Precast concrete piles may be made using ordinary reinforcement or they may be
prestressed.
• Precast piles using ordinary reinforcement are designed to resist bending stresses during
picking up & transporting to the site & bending moments from lateral loads and to provide
sufficient resistance to vertical loads and any tension forces developed during driving.
• Prestressed piles are formed by tensioning high strength steel prestress cables, and
casting the concrete about the cable. When the concrete hardens, the prestress cables are
cut, with the tension force in the cables now producing compressive stress in the concrete
pile. It is common to higher-strength concrete (35 to 55 MPa) in prestressed piles because
of the large initial compressive stresses from prestressing. Prestressing the piles, tend to
counteract any tension stresses during either handling or driving.
• Max length: 10 - 15 m for precast, 20 - 30 m for prestressed.
• Optimum length 10 - 12 m for precast. 18 - 25m prestressed.
• Loads for usual conditions 900 for precast. 8500 kN for prestressed Optimum load range:
350 - 3500 kN.

BRİDGE BEAM
Bridge beam is an element that can easily pass through large openings
using high strength (C 40 and higher) concrete and prestressing
technology, which is generally used in highway projects. Prestressed
bridge beams are manufactured in different dimensions and cross
according to the technical specifications of the bridge to be crossed. One
of the advantages of the Prefabricated Bridge Beam is that it can save
time with the passage of wide openings and the short construction
period. Prefabricated reinforced concrete “I” cross section bridge beams
are the indispensable prefabricated elements of bridge/viaduct
construction due to their speed, quality and low cost features.

WATERPROOF CONCRETE
Design and construction of a watertight concrete
structure is a system approach. The water
impermeability of a construction is determined by
fulfilment of the decisive requirements regarding
limitation of water permeability through the
concrete, the joints, installation parts as well as
cracks.
Long lasting, durable watertight constructions are
achieved by application of a well defined,
engineered system. All involved parties have to
closely interact in order to minimize the
probability of mistakes.
Waterproof concrete is normally an impermeable
concrete. To obtain an impermeable concrete, a
suitable particle-size distribution curve must be
generated and the capillary porosity has to be
reduced.
Water absorption of concrete under pressure
measures the maximum water penetration in mm
after a defined time with a
specified pressure.
(72 hours with 5 bar according EN12390-8)

MEASURES TO REDUCE THE CAPILLARY POROSITY ARE
AS FOLLOWS
Reduction of w/b-ratio
Pore blocker to further reduce the water transport
Shrinkage reduction (dry and plastic) to minimize crack formation
Additional sealing of the voids with pozzolanic reactive material
The concrete curing process is the final parameter affecting the
water resistance
Concrete Composition
AGGREGATE
Well graded particle-size distribution curve
Fines content of the aggregate kept low
Adjustment to the binder content is usually necessary to
obtain a satisfactory fines content.
CEMENT
Conformity with the minimum cement content according to
EN 206 Minimize paste volume as for the recommended
application
ADDITIONS
Use of pozzolanic or latent hydraulic additions
WATER CONTENT (W/B- RATIO)
Low w/b-ratio to reduce the capillary porosity
PLACING
A plastic to soft concrete is recommended to produce
waterproof concrete,
Careful and correct compaction of the concrete is important.

CURING
Immediate and thorough curing is essential
Impermeability of concrete against water is determined by the impermeability of
the binder matrix, i.e. capillary porosity. Decisive factors for the capillary
porosity are the w/b-ratio as well as the content and type of pozzolanic or latent
hydraulic materials. A powerful superplasticizer is used to lower the w/b-ratio.
This in turn decreases the volume of capillary pores within the concrete matrix,
while lending the concrete high workability. These pores are the potential
migratory paths for water through the concrete. With application of water
resisting admixture the calcium in the cement paste produce a hydrophobic layer
within the capillary pores. This consequently blocks the pores and provides
effective protection even at 10 bar (100 meters head of water). The concrete
should be placed, compacted and cured in accordance with good concrete
practice. The correct system for jointing (movement joints, construction joints) is
the key to achieving a watertight structure. Concrete pour sequences and bay
sizes need to be considered in order to reduce the risk of plastic shrinkage
cracking. As a guide, an aspect ratio not exceeding 3:1 is suggested for wall pours
in particular.
Iberia waterbars are flexible preformed PVC waterstops for the waterproofing of
both movement and construction joints which can be subjected to low and high
water pressure.
Correct design of any joints is essential on the one hand. On the other hand proper and
careful installation of the jointing system is decisive for achieving watertightness of
constructions. If watertight concrete leaks, then most often this is due to poor joint
construction. In addition other details such as tie bar holes and service entries need to be
considered. Depending on the level of protection against water, i.e. outside water pressure
as well as intended utilization of the construction, different joint systems are available.
Non-movement joints are usually sealed using hydrophilic strips which come in various
shapes and sizes and swell on contact with water. Where a structure requires a higher
level of protection, more advanced joint systems are available which may offer a
combination of hydrophilic elements built into a resin injected hose. This provides an
excellent secondary line of defense. Where movement joints are necessary, these can be
sealed using hypalon strips secured internally or externally using special epoxy adhesives,
or traditional PVC water bars. Immersion and permanent water contact. The water
permeability limit for watertightness is defined as 10 g/(m2 x hours) (according to SIA
262/1), where water permeability is smaller than vaporizable volume of water without
pressure over a defined period.

23 TYPES of CONCRETE and THEIR APPLICATION
Different types of concrete are produced based on the
constituent material, mix design, the method of
construction, area of application, form of hydration
reaction. Details of these various types of concrete, their
1. Normal Strength Concrete
The concrete that is obtained by mixing
the basic ingredients cement, water and
aggregate will give us normal strength
concrete. The strength of these type of
concrete will vary from 10 MPa to
40MPa. The normal strength concrete
has an initial setting time of 30 to 90
minutes that is dependent on the cement
properties and the weather conditions of
the construction site.
2. Plain Concrete
The plain concrete will have no
reinforcement in it. The main
constituents are the cement, aggregates,
and water. Most commonly used mix
design is 1:2:4 which is the normal mix
design.
The density of the plain concrete will
vary between 2200 and 2500 Kg/meter
cube. The compressive strength is 200
to 500 kg/cm 2 .
These types of concrete are mainly used
in the construction of the pavements and
the buildings, especially in areas where
there is less demand of high tensile
strength. The durability given by these type of concrete is satisfactory to high
extent.

3. Reinforced Concrete
The reinforced cement concrete is defined as the concrete to
which reinforcement is introduced to bear the tensile strength.
Plain concrete is weak in tension and good in compression.
Hence the placement of reinforcement will take up the
responsibility of bearing the tensile stresses. R.C.C works with
the combined action of the plain concrete and the
reinforcement.
The steel reinforcement used in the concrete can be in the form
of rods, bars or in the form of meshes. Now fibers are also
developed as reinforcement.
Fiber reinforced concrete are concrete that use fibers (steel
fibers) as reinforcement for the concrete. Use of meshes in
concrete will give ferrocement.
Whatever be the type of reinforcement used in concrete, it is
very necessary to ensure proper bond between the concrete
and the reinforcement. This bond will control the strength and
the durability factors of the concrete.

4. Prestressed Concrete
Most of the mega concrete projects are carried out through
prestressed concrete units. This is a special technique in which
the bars or the tendons used in the concrete is stressed before
the actual service load application.
During the mixing and the placing of the concrete, these
tensioned bars placed firmly and held from each end of the
structural unit. Once the concrete sets and harden, the
structural unit will be put in compression.
This phenomenon of prestressing will make the lower section of
the concrete member to be stronger against the tension.
The process of prestressing will require heavy equipment and
labor skill (jacks and equipment for tensioning). Hence the
prestressing units are made at site and assembled at site.
These are used in the application of bridges, heavy loaded
structures, and roof with longer spans.
5. Precast Concrete
Various structural elements can be made and cast in the factory
as per the specifications and bought to the site at the time of
assembly. Such concrete units are called as the precast
concrete.The examples of precast concrete units are concrete
blocks, the staircase units, precast walls and poles, concrete
lintels and many other elements.
These units have the advantage of acquiring speedy
construction as only assemblage is necessary. As the
manufacturing is done at site, quality is assured. The only
precaution taken is for their transportation.

6. Lightweight Concrete
Concrete that have a density lesser than 1920kg/m 3 will be
categorized as lightweight concrete. The use of lightweight
aggregates in concrete design will give us lightweight
aggregates.
Aggregates are the important element that contributes to the
density of the concrete. The examples of light weight
aggregates are the pumice, perlites, and scoria.The light weight
concrete is applied for the protection of the steel structures and
are also used for the construction of the long span bridge
decks. These are also used for the construction of the building
blocks.
7. High-Density Concrete
The concretes that have densities ranging between 3000 to
4000 kg/m 3 can be called as the heavyweight concrete. Here
heavy weight aggregates are used.
The crushed rocks are used as the coarse aggregates. The
most commonly used heavy weight aggregates is Barytes.
These types of aggregates are most commonly used in the
construction of atomic power plants and for similar projects. The
heavy weight aggregate will help the structure to resist all
possible type of radiations.
8. Air Entrained Concrete
These are concrete types into which air is intentionally
entrained for an amount of 3 to 6% of the concrete. The air
entrainment in the concrete is achieved by the addition of foams
or gas – foaming agents. Some examples of air entraining
agents are resins, alcohols, and fatty acids.

9. Ready Mix Concrete
The concrete that mix and bathed in a central mixing plant is
called as ready-mix concrete. The mixed concrete is brought to
the site with the help of a truck-mounted transit mixer. This once
reached in the site can be used directly without any further
treatment.
The ready-mix concrete is very precise and specialty concrete
can be developed based on the specification with utmost
quality.
The manufacture of these concrete will require a centralized
mixing plant. These plants will be located at an adjustable
distance from the construction site. If the transportation is too
long then it will result in setting of concrete. Such issues of time
delay are cope up with the use retarding agents that delays the
setting.
10. Polymer Concrete
When compared with the conventional concrete, in polymer
concrete the aggregates will be bound with the polymer instead
of cement. The production of polymer concrete will help in the
reduction of volume of voids in the aggregate. This will hence
reduce the amount of polymer that is necessary to bind the
aggregates used.
Hence the aggregates are graded and mixed accordingly to
achieve minimum voids hence maximum density.
This type of concrete has different categories

11. High-Strength Concrete
the high strength concrete ought to be less performing in terms
of workability which is an issue.
12. High-Performance Concrete
These concretes conform to a particular standard but in no
case, will be limited to strength. It has to be noted that all the
high strength concrete can be high-performance type. But not all
high-performance concrete (HPC) are high strength concrete.
Standards that conform to the high-performance concrete are
enlisted below:
Strength gain in early age
Easy placement of the concrete
Permeability and density factors
Heat of hydration
Long life and durability
Toughness and life term mechanical properties
Environmental concerns

13. Self – Consolidated Concrete
The concrete mix when placed will compact by its own weight is
regarded as self-consolidated concrete. No vibration must be
provided for the same separately.
This mix has a higher workability. The slump value will be
between 650 and 750.
This concrete due to its higher workability is also called as
flowing concrete. The areas where there is thick reinforcement,
self – consolidating concrete works best.
14. Shotcrete Concrete
Here the concrete type differs in the way it is applied
on the area to be cast. The concrete is shot into the
frame or the prepared structural formwork with the help
of a nozzle. As the shooting is carried out in a higher
air pressure, the placing and the compaction process
will be occurring at the same time.
15. Pervious Concrete
Pervious or permeable concrete are concrete that are designed
such a way that it allows the water to pass through it. These
types of concrete will have 15 to 20% voids of the volume of the
concrete when they are designed.
The pervious concrete is created by unique mixing process,
performance, application methods etc. These are used in the
construction of pavements and driveways where storm water

16. Vacuum Concrete
Concrete with water content more than required quantity is
poured into the formwork. The excess water is then removed
out with the help of a vacuum pump without waiting for the
concrete to undergo setting.
Hence the concrete structure or the platform will be ready to use
earlier when compared with normal construction technique.
These concretes will attain their 28 days compressive strength
within a period of 10 days and the crushing strength of these
structure is 25 % greater compared with the conventional
concrete types.
17. Pumped Concrete
One of the main property of the concrete used in large mega
construction especially for the high-rise construction is the
conveyance of the concrete to heights. Hence one such
property of concrete to easily pump will result in the design of
pumpable concrete.
The concrete that is used for pumping must be of adequate
workability so that it is easily conveyed through the pipe. The
pipe used will be rigid or a flexible hose that will discharge the
concrete to the desired area.
The concrete used must be fluid in nature with enough fine
material as well as water to fill up the voids. The more the finer
material used, greater will be control achieved on the mix. The
grading of the coarse aggregate used must be continuous in
nature.

18. Stamped Concrete
Stamped concrete is an architectural concrete where realistic
patterns similar to natural stones, granites, and tiles can be
obtained by placing impression of professional stamping pads.
These stamping is carried out on the concrete when it is in its
plastic condition.
Different coloring stains and texture work will finally give a finish
that is very similar to costlier natural stones. A high aesthetic
look can be obtained from a stamped finish economically. This
is used in the construction of driveways, interior floors, and
patios.
19. Limecrete
This is a concrete type in which the cement is replaced by lime.
The main application of this product is in floors, domes as well
as vaults. These unlike cements have many environmental and
health benefits. These products are renewable and easily
cleaned.
20. Asphalt Concrete
Asphalt concrete is a composite material, mixture of aggregates
and asphalts commonly used to surface roads, parking lots,
airports, as well as the core of embankment dams. Asphalt
concrete is also called as asphalt, blacktop or pavement in
North America, and tarmac or bitumen macadam or rolled
asphalt in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.
21. Roller Compacted Concrete
These are concrete that is placed and compacted with the help
of earth moving equipment like heavy rollers. This concrete is
mainly employed in excavation and filling needs.
These concretes have cement content in lesser amount and
filled for the area necessary. After compaction, these concretes
provide high density and finally cures into a strong monolithic
block.

22.Rapid Strength Concrete
As the name implies these concretes will acquire strength with
few hours after its manufacture. Hence the formwork removal is
made easy and hence the building construction is covered
fastly. These have a wide spread application in the road repairs
as they can be reused after few hours.
23. Glass Concrete
The recycled glass can be used as aggregates in concrete.
Thus, we get a concrete of modern times, the glass concrete.
This concrete will increase the aesthetic appeal of the concrete.
They also provide long-term strength and better thermal
insulation also.
