Q9. Which of the following statements is incorrect?
(a) Higher Vee-Bee times shows lower workability.
(b) Higher slump shows higher workability
(c) Higher compacting factor shows higher workability.
(d) None of the above.

Q10. Under water concreting is done by:
(a) Dripping method
(b) Tremie method
(c) Cofferdam method
(d)All of the above

SOLUTION

S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. Initial setting time → it is the time lapsed between addition of water and the cement paste starts loosing its plasticity.

Final setting time → it is the time lapsed between the addition of water and the time when cement completely loses it’s plasticity.

S2. Ans.(c)
Sol.
Material Batching tolerance
Aggregate, Water, admixture cement ±3%
± 2%

S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. The presence of moisture in voids of sand increase the volume of sand.

S4. Ans.(d)
Sol.

S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. workability of concrete by slump test is expressed as ‘mm’. Slump test is used for concrete having size of aggregate up to 38 mm.
S6. Ans.(d)
Sol. twisted bar has 50% more yield stress then ordinary mild steel bar.

S7. Ans.(a)
Sol. Reinforcement in RCC structure takes tensile stress because concrete has very low strength in tension.

S8. Ans.(b)
Sol. in limit state of collapse for direct compression the maximum axial compression strain in concrete is 0.002.

S9. Ans.(d)
Sol.

S10. Ans.(b)
Sol. Tremie method is used for under water concreting
