Description
This dataset is a market dataset representing the consumption market of the region. The dataset includes the transport of the product from the gate to the consumption end, and the transport service is calculated based on the transport situation of the product in the region. This dataset represents the average production of ready-mixed concrete with strength grade C15 in China. Its main raw materials include cement, sand, gravel, water and necessary admixtures, etc., and ready-mixed concrete of different strength grades is obtained by adjusting the mix proportion. The production processes mainly include raw material receipt and storage, batching and metering, forced mixing and loading/unloading, and the direct environmental emissions during the process mainly involve particulate matter, wastewater, etc. The data sources mainly include literature materials and public production reports of enterprises. To ensure the representativeness and reliability of the results, some key data have been integrated and supplemented in combination with industry statistical information.
Activity Description
The production system boundary of this product is the entire stage of ready-mixed concrete production, including the arrival and storage of raw materials, batching measurement, forced mixing, etc., including the emission of pollutant gases and dust particles during fuel combustion, and part of the losses are treated as non-recyclable waste.
Process Description
Ready-mixed concrete is made of cement, aggregate, water, and appropriate amounts of additives accurately measured according to the designed mix ratio, and is mixed centrally in a mixing station to form a homogeneous mixture. According to strength grade, it is divided into C10, C15, C20, C25, C30, C35, C40, C45, C50, C55, C60, C65, C70, C75, C80, C85, C90, C95, and C100. It is the main raw material for on-site structural forming, generally transported to the construction site by mixer trucks, and after curing and hardening, forms concrete products with the strength and durability required by the design.

Technology comment
Ready-mixed concrete production adopts precise proportioning and computer automatic control technology. Cement, aggregates, admixtures and water are put into the mixing station according to the designed proportion for centralized mixing. Quality inspection and transportation scheduling systems ensure that the concrete is delivered to the construction site within the specified time and maintains working performance. The entire production process achieves precise measurement of raw materials, automation of the mixing process, and informatization of quality monitoring, ultimately producing uniform and stable concrete products that meet strength requirements.
