Q-2(a) When a specimen of M25 concrete is loaded to a stress level of 12.5 MPa, a strain of 500 × 10-6 is recorded. If this load is allowed to stand for a long time, the strain increases to 1000 × 10-6. In accordance with the provisions of IS:456-2000, considering the long-term effects, the effective modulus of elasticity of the concrete (in MPa) is ______
Concrete is required for walls of a building that will be Mild Exposed to freezing and thawing. The cross section of a wall is 300 x 1500 mm. The smallest spacing between reinforcing steel is 50 mm. The specified compressive strength of Compressive strength of concrete at 28 days is 35 MPa and a slump of 55 mm. Portland cement type I is used with specific gravity of 3.12, maximum size of aggregate 27 mm and fineness modulus of fine aggregate is 2.4, absorption capacity and moisture content of fine aggregate are of 0.92%, and 1.95% respectively. The dry-rodded unit weight of coarse aggregate is 1820 kg/m³, absorption capacity and moisture content of coarse aggregate are of 0.75%, and 1.85% respectively.
