Feasibility study on application of ready mix concrete in construction projects in Nepal

Ready mix concrete (RMC) is a new concreting concept in the Nepali construction industry introduced before one decade. The paper aims to assess the acceptance of ready mix for residential buildings of Nepal. The relation was developed for average compressive strength with slump value and water cemen...

description Ready mix concrete (RMC) is a new concreting concept in the Nepali construction industry introduced before one decade. The paper aims to assess the acceptance of ready mix for residential buildings of Nepal. The relation was developed for average compressive strength with slump value and water cement ratio based on laboratory test nominal mix M20 (1:1.5:3) and M25 (1:1:2) along with questionnaire survey. The result also shows that the compressive strength of RMC is higher in comparison with the SMC (site mix concrete). During questionnaire, more than 60% of users prefer the RMC over SMC. The merit and demerit of construction projects using RMC and SMC are discussed and interpreted.
