ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the production of high-quality concrete according to the mix design, good transportation without any defect in the quality of concrete, and finally, implementation of concrete with the highest quality are mentioned.
Production of concrete in the laboratory according to the mix design is the first subject. Then you can go to the batching plant and try to produce the concrete accurately with the highest quality in the batching plant. After completing the description of the concrete production, the transportation of concrete with the truck mixers or any other method that could be acceptable for the projects is described.
Concrete pumping is the next subject that is mentioned in this chapter. You can read about the concrete pump machines and their specifications in this chapter.
Compaction of concrete and smoothing the surface of concrete are the next important subjects that are mentioned in this chapter. Finally, some implementation issues like the cold joints and prevention of them in concrete structures and also concrete curing which is very important for the assurance of the quality are discussed.
Concrete recycling system which is a new subject and is very important for the protection of the environment is the last subject of this chapter.
