Ready-mix concrete (RMC) is a type of concrete which is manufactured in a cement factory, or specifically known as the batching plant, according to a given set of proportions, and then delivered to a work site, by truck mounted with mixers. This results in a precise mixture, allowing specialty concrete mixtures to be developed and … Read more
Reinforced brick concrete, or RBC, is a type of composite material made by combining concrete with reinforcement in the form of rebar or wire mesh. The reinforcement helps to increase the strength and durability of the concrete, while also providing a degree of flexibility. RBC is often used in the construction of buildings, bridges, and … Read more
