(a) Fine cement is more liable to suffer from shrinkage cracking than a coarse cement
(b) Fine cement will show faster rate of hardening than coarse cement
(c) Fine cement shows faster rate of heat evolution and total quantity of heat evolved is much larger than coarse cement
(d) none of these
Q6. Workability of concrete for a given water content is good if the aggregates are
(a) Angular aggregates
(b) Flaky aggregates
(c) Rounded aggregates
(d) Irregular aggregates
SOLUTION
S1. Ans.(a)
Sol.
| Degree of workability | Consistency | Slump
(mm) |
| Extremely low | Moist Earth | 0 |
| Very low | Very dry | 0-25 |
| Low | Dry | 25-50 |
| Medium | Plastic | 50-100 |
| High | Semi-fluid | 100-175 |
S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. The nail diameter should not be more than t/6.
t = least thickness of the wooden member to be connected.
S3. Ans.(d)
Sol. Kaolinite is a mineral; hence it is not a supplementary material while fly ash, micro silica and rice husk ash are supplementary cementitious material.
S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. Duco paints are cellulose paints. They have excellence water resistance, fast – drying finish, self levelling properties and high durability.
S5. Ans.(c)
Sol. Total quantity of heat evolved is same for both fine as well as coarse cement.
S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. Rounded aggregate has minimum percentage of voids hence provided more workability while flaky aggregate has maximum percentage of voids hence provided minimum workability.
