Record 2 2011-05-19

English

Subject field(s)
  • Types of Concrete
CONT

On most sites you can use either concrete mixed on site or ready mixed concrete and cost will generally be the deciding factor. It is misleading to compare just the cost of producing the concrete by the two methods; the overall cost of the completed work should be taken into account.

OBS

Not to be confused with "cast-in-place concrete."

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sortes de béton
DEF

Béton préparé directement sur le chantier par opposition au béton fabriqué en usine.

OBS

Ne pas confondre avec «béton coulé sur place».
