Question

Once cement has been made, it is mixed with water, crushed rocks, and sand. This forms a concrete slurry, a thick semi-liquid mixture with solids suspended in water. The concrete slurry is transported to a job site by a concrete mixer. At the job site, the slurry is poured into molds. As the wet concrete hardens, it gains strength.
