Question

Four standard mortar cubes were made using nonpotable water available at
the job site, and four others were made using potable water. The cubes were
tested for compressive strength after 7 days of curing and produced the failure
loads in kilograms shown in Table P6.24.

Also, the Vicat test was conducted on the cement paste made with the ques-
tionable water and showed that the set time is 0.5

hour less than the set time
of paste made with potable water. Based on these results, would you accept
that water for mixing concrete according to ASTM standards? Explain why.
