BATCHlNG AND MIXING OF MORTAR AND CONCRETE INGRADIENTS
Taken from : Ambuja Technical Literature Series - 6
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the world. This material is not going to be easily replaced by any other material on account of its economical as well as technical advantages.
This material is generally produced at site in our country and therefore needs to be carefully supervised and controlled in order that it performs the way it is technically expected to perform. Concrete is made from raw materials such as cement, natural and manufactured aggregates, water and at times concrete additives (chemicals). It is worth noting that cement and aggregates are manufactured or obtained from natural solid stone which
is quarried, crushed, ground, screened and processed to give the required physical and chemical properties. The same materials are then hatched, mixed with water, transported, placed, compacted and cured to give concrete of desired shape which after it is hardened resembles a solid stone.
This booklet covers the hatching and mixing processes of concrete manufacture. The processes of hatching and mixing of concrete or mortar materials are very similar to preparations of a dish in cookery as per a recipe wherein various ingredients depending on their individual properties have to be mixed in correct proportions to give the required flavour and taste. The process of hatching and mixing are therefore as important to concrete as a accurately proportioned and cooked dish is important to our taste buds.
Batching and mixing are extremely important parts of mortar and concrete manufacture as they influence properties of concrete both in plastic as well as in hardened stages.
