GEOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF HEIGHT, VOLUME AND SURFACE AREA OF READY-MIXED CONCRETE LOADED IN ROTATING DRUM OF TRUCK AGITATOR (PART 2): RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HEIGHT AND SURFACE AREA OF READY-MIXED CONCRETE LOADED IN ROTATING DRUM

Abstract

Part 2 of this study examined the relationship between height and surface area of ready-mixed concrete loaded in rotating drum by geometric analysis. As a result, the following was shown within the scope of this study.

1) Rotating drum of truck agitator could be represented by geometric model based on the combination of cones and cylinder.

2) Partial surface areas of cone and cylinder cut diagonally with respect to rotating drum are expressed by integral equations. The relationship between height and surface area of ready-mixed concrete loaded in rotating drum could be quantified.
