What is your recommendation for the maximum size of coarse aggregate for a column 500X500 mm if the minimum clear distance between reinforcement bars is 50 mm and the minimum cover is 40 mm. Select one: A. 12.5 mm B. 25 mm C. 37.5 mm D. 19 mm
True or false: Generally speaking, concrete will be priced the same regardless of its designed strength, 4,500 psi concrete will cost the same as 3,000 psi concrete.
Two batches of concrete cylinders were made with and without a calciumchloride (CaCl2) accelerator admixture. Five cylinders were made of eachbatch and submerged in water for different times before testing for compres-sive strength and the results are shown in Table P6.36.It is required to do the following:a. Using an Excel sheet, plot the relationship between curing time andcompressive strength of the two mixes on the same graph. Label all axesand curves.b. Comment on the effect of the accelerator on the compressive strength ofPCC at early and late ages.
