What is Concrete?
Concrete is a building material formed by the homogeneous mixing of cement, water, aggregate, and chemical additives. Initially, it has a plastic consistency that can be shaped, and over time, it hardens and solidifies to gain strength. Fresh concrete must be workable enough to be poured and placed in the mold. Afterward, the material must harden and develop the minimum compressive strength to withstand the design loads calculated for the structure.
Concrete is one of the most essential building materials that forms the foundation of modern societies. Many structures, such as buildings, roads, bridges, dams, power plants, retaining walls, water tanks, ports, and airports to which Albayrak Concrete contributes, are primarily made of concrete. Today, it is estimated that over 10 billion cubic meters (m3) of concrete are produced worldwide each year. When this amount is divided by the world population, it results in approximately 1.25 m3 (around 3 tons) of concrete produced per person each year. This makes concrete the most produced and consumed material in the world, after water.
What is Ready-Mixed Concrete?
Ready-mixed concrete is produced by homogeneously mixing cement, water, aggregate (sand, gravel, or crushed stone), and additives, if necessary, in a plant environment. It is then transported to construction sites and used directly.
