What are various steps involved in the concreting process?

The various steps are:

• Batching: Batching is the measurement of the different material that is needed to make the concrete. Batching can be done with two methods, the first is Volume batching and the other is Weight batching. In Volume batching, the measurement is taken in the form of volume, and in weight batching, the measurement is taken in the form of weight.
• Mixing: To get good concrete, mixing of the materials is done. It is done in dry condition and then in wet condition. There are two ways of mixing, one is Hand mixing and the other is Machine mixing.
• Transportation and placing of concrete: After the concrete is prepared, it should be transported to a place where it has to be used. Concrete should be dropped on its ultimate destination as much as possible.
• Compaction of concrete: After the concrete is placed, it may have an air bubble in it. These air bubbles may reduce the strength by 30%. Here, the process of compaction is utilized which reduces the air bubble. Compaction can be done by two methods: - By vibrators and by hand
• Curing: To complete the hydration process, curing is performed. Curing is the process that allows the concrete to keep the moisture for a while.
