, [NV-C5-E5-Q1] Lightweight Concrete Placement Scenario 1 at 1037 Sierra Vista Dr, Reno, NV
89523 - 3500 PSI Spec - 2025 — Focus: high-strength mix design. You are placing lightweight
structural concrete with equilibrium density 110 pcf using expanded shale aggregate. What is
required per ACI 213R?
A) Use only dry lightweight aggregate without pre-wetting to reduce weight, slump 8 inch is acceptable for
high rise
B) For this lightweight mix at 3500 PSI, maintain equilibrium density 102-115 pcf, pre-wet aggregate 24hrs,
limit pump horizontal distance to 200 ft, test unit weight per ASTM C567, and adjust yield for high absorption
aggregate per ACI 211.2
C) Lightweight concrete does not require air entrainment in Nevada freezing zones and can be cured 1 day
only
D) Replace all cement with fly ash 70% to achieve lightweight performance and ignore density tests
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Lightweight concrete per ACI 213R uses low-density aggregates (expanded shale/clay/slate, pumice,
perlite). Equilibrium density for structural lightweight is 90-115 pcf vs 135-145 pcf normal weight. Key issues:
pre-wetting aggregate to prevent slump loss, unit weight testing per ASTM C567, pump limitations due to
aggregate breakage, lower modulus of elasticity. For job at 1037 location, maintaining SSD condition prevents
water demand spike and ensures 3500 PSI strength. Curing minimum 7 days. | Nevada C-5 requires ACI 318/332
knowledge; this scenario tests LIGHTWEIGHT & HIGH-STRENGTH competency for 2026/2027 testing cycle.
Yellow box #FFF9C4 ensures visual retention per Stuvia A+ Verified standards (80-120 words).
[NV-C5-E5-Q2] Lightweight Concrete Placement Scenario 2 at 1074 Mojave Bluff Rd,
Henderson, NV 89052 - 4000 PSI Spec - 2026 — Focus: shotcrete dry-mix vs wet-mix. You are
placing lightweight structural concrete with equilibrium density 110 pcf using expanded shale
aggregate. What is required per ACI 213R?
A) Use only dry lightweight aggregate without pre-wetting to reduce weight, slump 8 inch is acceptable for
high rise
B) Lightweight concrete does not require air entrainment in Nevada freezing zones and can be cured 1 day
only
C) For this lightweight mix at 4000 PSI, maintain equilibrium density 102-115 pcf, pre-wet aggregate 24hrs,
limit pump horizontal distance to 200 ft, test unit weight per ASTM C567, and adjust yield for high absorption
aggregate per ACI 211.2
