Granular materials used with cementing medium to form hydraulic-cement, concrete, or mortar
are called? - ANSAggregates
ASTM C138 - ANSThis test method covers determination of the density of freshly mixed
concrete and gives formulas for calculating the unit weight, yield or relative yield, cement
content, and air content of the concrete.
Water that rises to the surface of a freshly placed concrete is called? - ANSBleed Water
A condition where two parallel edges of the panel are in the same plane and the portions of the
panel between the edges is out of plane is called? - ANSBowing
The finish of concrete cast without forms that usually requires manual or machine finish is called
- ANSUnformed Surface Finish
The finish of concrete cast directly against a form is called - ANSAs-Cast Formed Finish
ASTM C143 - ANSStandard Test Method for Slump of Hydraulic-Cement Concrete
A substance placed on a material to prevent it from bonding to the concrete or between a face
material and the concrete backup is called? - ANSBond Breaker
ASTM C172 - ANSStandard Practice for Sampling Freshly Mixed Concrete
Material other than water, aggregates, cement, or fiber used in concrete, mortar, or grout added
to batch immediately before or during mixing to modify concrete properties is called

Compaction - ANSprocess whereby the volume of concrete is reduced to minimal practical
space usually by vibration, tamping, or both.
Accelerating admixture are allowed to have ____________% calcium chloride - ANS0
Calcium Chloride is not allowed in admixtures because it causes - ANSCorrosion
Consolidation - ANSprocess of inducing a closer arrangement of solid particles in freshly mixed
concrete with or without vibration, rodding, tamping e.t.c
