Question

Transcribed Image Text:Concrete is strongest when subjected to:
O A) Tension
O B) Bending
O9 Torsion
O D) Compression
If a peak load of 250 kN was exerted on a 100 mm x 200 mm test cylinder, the
compressive strength of the concrete is:
OA) 28.6 MPa
O B) 35.2 MPa
O9 31.8 MPa
O D) 32.4 MPa
The approximate volume percentages of the principal components of a concrete
mixture are: 6%, 11%, 41%, 26%, 16%. Which of the following lists matches the
correct order of these main components? Start with the one at 6% and end with the
one at 16%.
O Air, Water, Coarse Aggregate, Fine Aggregate, Cement
O Water, Coarse Aggregate, Fine Aggregate, Cement, Air
O Air, Coarse Aggregate, Fine Aggregate, Water, Cement
O Air, Cement, Coarse Aggregate, Fine Aggregate, Water
Under ideal conditions, concrete should be batched and placed within after
mixing, when retarding admixtures are not used.
OA 90 minutes
O B) 1/2 hour
OC 4 hours
O D) 120 minutes
