The purpose of skin reinforcement which is required on deep beams can best be described as.
To control cracking in the section which is especially critical for deep beams in which the
neutral axis is located far away from the tension side of the beam
Increasing the concrete compressive strength of a concrete beam has negligible effect on the
ultimate capacity? True
Increasing the concrete compressive strength of a short, non-sway, concrete column has
negligible effect on the ultimate capacity? False
The concrete framing system for Francis Hall is most nearly described as... One-way beam
According to the American Concrete Institute, who is responsible for Quality Control: taking
actions to ensure that Work meets the requirements of the contract documents? Contractor
According to the American Concrete Institute, who is responsible for obtaining concrete
cylinders for testing of the compressive strength. Owner's Testing Agency
How many concrete cylinders must be taken for a single 28-day concrete compression test?
4
The tensile strength of concrete is referred to as... Modulus of Rupture
The tensile strength of concrete is ignored for Strength Design. True
, Air entrainment is an admixture that is added to a concrete mix to decrease the shrinkage of
the concrete False
Adding additional water to a concrete mix can have the following effects (select all that apply)
Increased shrinkage, increased workability
A joint that is sawn into the concrete right after it sets is an example of what type of joint in the
concrete? Control joint
Concrete slump and air contents tests should typically be taken at the point of placement, since
this is ultimately where the concrete will be placed and best matches the field conditions.
True
Per the IBC, special inspection of the formwork for concrete construction is required to be
continuous. False
You are the contractor on a 4,000 SF restaurant project. The foundation will contain
approximately 40 yards of concrete and will be poured in a single day. What is the minimum
amount of samples for strength test specimen's required per ACI 318? 0
Per the IBC, special inspections are required on every concrete project that requires a
commercial permit regardless of the size? False
Per the IBC, inspections are required on every single concrete project that requires a
commercial permit regardless of the size? True
Once a contractor has received notification that he has passed inspection, the contractor is now
relieved from the obligation to adhere to the construction documents. False
