Concrete batching is a very important part in the concrete construction process, which determines the quality and performance of concrete. In the concrete batching, should pay attention to the following aspects:

First, choose the right cement. Cement is one of the main components of concrete, which directly affects the strength and durability of concrete. When selecting cement, the appropriate strength grade and type of cement should be selected according to the use and requirements of the concrete.

Secondly, the appropriate aggregate should be selected. Aggregate is another important component of concrete, which has an important effect on the strength and compactness of concrete. The type, grade and shape of aggregate will affect the performance of concrete, so the appropriate aggregate should be selected when batching.

Third, to control the water cement ratio. Water-cement ratio is the proportion of cement and water in concrete, which directly affects the fluidity, strength and durability of concrete. Under normal circumstances, the smaller the water-cement ratio, the better the strength and durability of concrete, but too low water-cement ratio will lead to difficult construction and maintenance of concrete, so it is necessary to control the water-cement ratio according to the specific situation.

In addition, attention should be paid to controlling the viscosity of the ingredients. The viscosity of concrete will affect the fluidity and slump of concrete, and too high viscosity will lead to difficult construction and maintenance of concrete, affecting the performance of concrete. Therefore, we should pay attention to control the viscosity of the concrete batching.

Finally, keep the ingredients stable. In the process of concrete batching, it is easy to appear the phenomenon of material layering and false encapsulation, which affects the uniformity and performance of concrete. Therefore, in the concrete batching, attention should be paid to controlling the mixing time, speed and other parameters to maintain the stability of the batching.

In general, concrete batching is a very critical part of concrete construction, and it is necessary to pay attention to cement, aggregate, water-cement ratio, viscosity and stability, in order to ensure the quality and performance of concrete. I hope the above points can help you.
