A Vibrator ...ANSWER...Concrete Questions --- Concrete must be compacted in the
forms to eliminate trapped air and to fill completely around the reinforcing steel and into
all the corners of the formwork. What tool is used to accomplish this?
dropped from a substantial height ...ANSWER...Segregation will likely occur during
concrete placement if the concrete is...
, B.) Individually, each has a very high allowable tensile
strength ...ANSWER...Reinforcing steel and concrete are very compatible. Which of the
following is untrue?
A.) The two have similar coefficients of thermal expansion.
B.) Individually, each has a vey high allowable tensile strength.
C.) Concrete bonds well to reinforcing steel.
D.) They are chemically compatible; steel is protected from corrosion by the alkaline
chemistry of concrete
Delay hardening ...ANSWER...Admixtures are used in concrete to...
C.) Concrete left in the air after 7 days will have approximately 90 percent of its full
strength at 28 days. ...ANSWER...Which of these is a true statement?
A.) Concrete cured under water will have its full strength exactly at 90 days.
B.) Concrete left in the air as early as possible will reach full strength after several
years.
C.) Concrete left in the air after 7 days will have approximately 90 percent of its full
strength at 28 days.
D.) Concrete curing is not necessary for slabs, only walls.
E.) Concrete hardening continues at subfreezing temperatures, albeit slowly
- Drying shrinkage
- Loads placed on it
