    As a civil engineering point of view for accurate measurement of any material weight batching is preferred over volume batching for large constructions.

    Refer IS 4925(2004) 40 tales of concrete batching plants and their volumes

    • The volume of transit mixer is around the 6.1-metre cube.
    • The volume of the batching plant is based upon the size and quantity of manufacturing capacity. So it may vary from plant to plant according to requirement.
    • Also, you can prefer a mix design of concrete to get an idea about transit mixer and batching plants in brief.

    GPS ;

    Global Positioning System (GPS) refers to the NAVSTAR Global Positioning System, a constellations of satellites developed by the United States Department of Defence. At first the GPS was made for military use only, but later made accessible to civilians as well. But recently, GPS is most widely used GNSS satellite constellation in the world.

    GLONASS ;

    Globalnaya Navigazionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema (GLONASS) is an acronym which is translated from Russian, this means Global Navigation Satellite System. It is accessible for both military and civil use and also provides real time position and velocity determination.

    The main difference between GPS & GLONASS is that, with GPS satellites use the same radio frequencies but have different codes for communication while GLONASS satellites have the same codes but use different frequencies, allowing satellites on the same orbital plane to communicate.

    Flexural strength is the maximum strength (stress) either yield or up to fracture that a structure or element or a member could bear. It could be measures in terms of modulus of rupture at yield also.

    Where in modulus of rupture is just showing the present stress condition within the member or element itself. If the member is on the verge of failure i.e on the verge of fracture than the modulus of rupture will give Flexural strength.

    Thanks for the answer. I agree that there are other combinations like blue and white etc, but is there any specific reason for mostly using green and blue along with white?
