ICC - REinforced Q & A
Beam - Correct Answer - A _______ is a horizontal member that transfers loads laterally.
Concrete with less than the minimum amount of reinforcement - Correct Answer - Plain concrete
refers to:
Flexure, Compression - Correct Answer - A beam is primarily subject to ________ while a
column is primarily subject to _______.
Chapter 2 - Correct Answer - The best place to look up definitions in ACI 318-14 is:
Shallow - Correct Answer - Foundations cast at the same elevation as the soil grade are known
as:
ASTM C330 - Correct Answer - ASTM _______ is related to lightweight aggregate
ASTM C33 - Correct Answer - ASTM _______ is related to aggregate in concrete
ASTM C150 - Correct Answer - ASTM _______ is related to portland cement
ASTM C1602 - Correct Answer - ASTM _______ is related to portland cement
Aggregate, Sand, Cement, and Water - Correct Answer - Concrete is a mixture of:
Potable or non-potabe water, cementitious material, and aggregate conforming to ASTM C33 or
an approved alternative equivalent - Correct Answer - Structural normal weight concrete MUST
contain/produce:
Hydration - Correct Answer - ____________ is an exothermic (heat producing), chemical
reaction that begins when water and cement are combined
26.4.2.1 (a) (4) - Correct Answer - Information on the maximum allowable nominal aggregate
size for concrete can be found where? *Find in ACI 318*
26.4 - Correct Answer - Concrete materials and mixture requirements (such ASTM codes) can
be found where? *Find in ACI 318*
Decrease the compressive strength - Correct Answer - Adding water to a concrete mix will:
The compressive strength will likely be higher than normal - Correct Answer - When comparing
two water/cement rations, a lower w/c ratio likely means:
Beam - Correct Answer - A _______ is a horizontal member that transfers loads laterally.
