4 Classification and Mark
4.1 Classification
According to features, ready-mixed concrete shall be divided into normal concrete and special concrete.
4.1.1 Normal concrete
Normal Concrete shall specify the concrete strength grade, slump and maximum nominal grain size(coarse aggregate) under the following ranges:
