All of the above L-shaped wall T-shaped wall Counterfort type 9 / 25Allowable shear strength of concrete, depends upon Tensile strength Compressive strength None of these Shear strength 10 / 25For a reinforced concrete section, the shape of shear stress diagram is Wholly rectangular Parabolic above neutral axis and rectangular below neutral axis Rectangular above neutral axis and parabolic below neutral axis Wholly parabolic 11 / 25‘Ware house pack’ of cement means Full capacity of the ware house Packing the ware house Pressure exertion of the bags of upper layers Pressure compaction of the bags on lower layers 12 / 25The slab is designed as one way if the ratio of long span to short span is Between 1.5 and 2 Between 1 and 1.5 Less than 1 Greater than 2 13 / 25A concrete using an air entrained cement Is more plastic and workable Has more resistance to weathering Is free from segregation and bleeding Has strength less than 10% to 15% 14 / 25For the construction of thin R.C.C. structures, the type of cement to be avoided, is Rapid hardening cement Ordinary Portland cement Blast furnace slag cement Low heat cement 15 / 25High carbon content in the steel causes Increase in tensile strength but decrease in ductility Decrease in both tensile strength and ductility Increase in both tensile strength and ductility Decrease in tensile strength but increase in ductility 16 / 25The surface where two successive placements of concrete meet, is known as Construction joint Contraction joint Both (a) and (b Expansion joint 17 / 25For batching 1:3:6 concrete mix by volume, the ingredients required per bag of 50 kg cement, are: 70 litres of sand and 120 litres of aggregates 105 litres of sand and 210 litres of aggregates 105 litres of sand and 140 litres of aggregates 70 kg of sand and 140 litres of aggregates 18 / 25Water cement ratio is generally expressed in volume of water required per 50 kg 30 kg 20 kg 10 kg 19 / 25If the engineer-in-charge approves, the 10 cm cubes may be used for the work test of concreteprovided maximum nominal size of aggregate, does not exceed 10 cm 15 cm 25 cm 20 cm 20 / 25Particles of 0.002 mm size are that of Gravel None of these Sand Clay 21 / 25Admixtures which cause early setting and hardening of concrete are called Accelerators Retarders Workability admixtures Air entraining agents 22 / 25The average permissible stress in bond for plain bars in tension is Decreased by 25% for bars in compression Increased by 10% for bars in compression Decreased by 10% for bars in compression Increased by 25% for bars in compression 23 / 25A beam curved in plan is designed for Shear and torsion Bending moment and torsion Bending moment, shear and torsion Bending moment and shear 24 / 25For the construction of cement concrete dams, the maximum permissible size of the aggregates, is 50 mm 60 mm 70 mm 40 mm 25 / 25The minimum cover in a slab should neither be less than the diameter of the bar nor less than 15 mm 13 mm 10 mm 25 mm Your score isThe average score is 32% LinkedIn Facebook Twitter 0% Restart quiz Send feedback You Might Also Like Concrete Technology Set-3October 31, 2020 Concrete Technology Set-1October 31, 2020
