CCIL PRACTICE TEST FINAL STUDY GUIDE
2026 SOLVED QUESTIONS FULLY CORRECT
⫸ ACI Answer: American Concrete Institute
⫸ A23.2-3C
3. Summary Answer: This Test Method is used to cast compressive or
flexural strength test specimens and cure them on site prior to timely
transportation to the laboratory for subsequent curing and strength
testing.
⫸ A23.2-3C
4. Significance and use Answer: This Test Method specifies the standard
procedure for making, curing, protecting, and transporting concrete
specimens.
⫸ 4. Significance and use
If the specimens are made and standard cured as specified in this Test
Method, the resulting strength data, when the specimens are tested in
accordance with the relevant test method, may be used for the following
purposes: Answer: 1. acceptance testing for specified strength;
2. checking adequacy of mixture proportions for strength; and
3. quality control
⫸ 4. Significance and use
, If the specimens are made and field-cured as specified in this Test
Method, the resulting strength data, when the specimens are tested in
accordance with the relevant Test Method, may be used for the
following purposes: Answer: 1. consideration of whether the structure is
able to be put into service;
2. comparison with test results of standard cured specimens or with test
results from various in place test methods;
3. adequacy of curing and protection of concrete in the concrete
structure; and
4. formwork or shoring removal time requirements.
⫸ 5. Apparatus
5.1 Moulds for compression test specimens: Answer: Use cylindrical
moulds, meeting the requirements of CSA A23.2-1D, having
nonabsorbent surfaces and sufficiently rigid to hold their shape during
the moulding of the test specimens.
Do not use cardboard moulds for specified concrete strengths greater
than 35 MPa.
Lightly coat reusable moulds with mineral oil or other suitable non-
reactive form release material before use.
⫸ 5.3 Tamping rod
For 100 mm x 200 mm cylinders, Answer: se a round straight steel
tamping rod 10 +/- 1 mm in diameter and between 450 mm and 600 mm
in length, having at least one end rounded to a hemispherical tip.
