    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.

    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.

    Mechanism of resin transparent concrete:

    Construction Materials:

    • PO43.5R OPC (Dalian Xiaoyetian Cement Co., Ltd.)
    • River Sand(Fineness Modulus=2.9)
    • Grade I fly ash
    • Polycarboxylic acid superplasticizer( powder)

    The light transmission rate of resin transparent concrete is 80% more than transparent concrete using Plastic Optical Fibres.


    The number of resins is inserted within the concrete to transmit light from it’s one face to another.

    The casting process of resin transparent concrete is the same as that of our conventional concrete but we have to produce a special type of molds that has holes of appropriate spacing.

    NαVcotθNa=αVcotθ

    Shear force is the product of shear stress and area. Thrust line can also affect the stability.
