w/c 0.4, slump 3.5in, Type V cement per Cement ASTM C150. Job NV-C5-EX1-1. What is
correct per ASTM/ACI?
A. Type V per C150 C3A limit ensures 2500 PSI sulfate resistance at w/c 0.4
B. Ignores ASTM Cement ASTM C150 allows seawater for 2500 PSI
C. Cement ASTM C150 measures color only not strength aggregate #67
D. Requires w/c 0.70 for all 2500 PSI regardless
Correct: A | Rationale: For 1001 S Las Vegas Blvd , Reno, NV 89501 2500 PSI Cement ASTM C150:
