Expert Solution
Step 1

Explanation :

36

  • Curing is the process of controlling the extent of moisture.
  • Hydration is the exothermal process between cement and water.
  • Setting is the process of stiffening the cement paste  from plastic to solid state.
  • It is the ratio of water to cement used in the concrete mix.

37

  • Voids in the concrete decreases the strength as well as durability. It also have impact on volume stability
