Ready mix concrete is a very important element in the construction business and is one of the most used materials for construction of buildings. It is mostly preferred for its strength and durability, sustainability and low maintenance.
The builders usually prefer ready-mix concrete for tall structures and buildings. The RMC used for this purpose should be of ‘A’ grade quality. When we talk about the quality of RMC, how can we forget not to mention SD CONMIX .SD CONMIX is one of the best suppliers of ready-mix concrete that is used for a lot of construction purposes. The RMC is manufactured using top-rated technology, using high-quality raw materials. There are types of RMC of which lightweight is one.
What is lightweight concrete?
The lightweight concrete is a combination of lightweight coarse aggregates such as shale, clay or slate giving it a low density. Sometimes the portion or entire fine aggregate may be lightweight. The structural lightweight concrete has an in-place density. In addition to this, lightweight concrete has a few features which cannot be ignored. The lightweight concrete reduced density is high in strength, good durability, thermal insulation, fire resistance, soundproofing, shrinkage, reparability, speed of construction and more.
The advantages of lightweight ready-mix concrete are many.
. Reduces a dead load of wet concrete and allows a longer span to be poured unpropped. This saves both labour and the circle time for each floor.
. It is simple to handle, which decreases the cost of transport.
. The lightweight concrete enhances the workability
. Thermal conductivity is decreased with lightweight concrete
. The use of lightweight concrete in the rooms where air conditioning is to be installed during the building construction would result in good thermal comfort and decreased power usage.
. Strong and more durable in comparison to other concrete mixes.
. When compared to regular concrete, lightweight RMC provides an outlet for industrial wastes such as fly ash clinkers, slag and so on.
