Reinforced concretes are usually attacked by water and rusted. This is due to, a. Low density cements or high porosity that allow water to reach the steel b. The expansion of the rust as it has higher volume than steel push the cement cover and break it c. All the options d. None of the options e. The cover thickness is too small (the steel is too close to the end of the concrete block)

Hardening of concrete is caused by "Hydration" True False
The flexural strength (fr) of concrete measured from the bending test is always higher than the direct tensile strength (ft). In reality, the stress in the cracked part of the concrete is lower than ft. Also, failure may occur on the compressive side. Assuming NO tension softening (i.e., the stress in the cracked part stays at ft) and infinite compressive strength (i.e., compressive failure will never occur), draw the stress distribution over the depth of the beam at ultimate failure when the curvature of the section is approaching infinity. With this stress distribution, show that the upper bound of fr/ft is equal to 3. (Hint: On rotating the section, because the compressive stress can increase well beyond ft, the neutral axis will continue to shift upwards.)

Hydration of cement is exothermic process that generates heat. The table below shows the heat generate with different cement components. Which component is recommended to build a dam wall which is a large amount of cement block? a. None of the above b. C2S only which generate less heat and less thermal stress c. A mixture of Low heat cements to avoid thermal stress and high energy released and other factors should be considered. d. C3A because it generates large amount of heat and dry the block faster.
