Civil Engineering Materials

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Source of hotgases - biggest piece of moving equipment






2. Low stability






3. Water used for hydration - water beyond SSD - min- .22-.25 - typical- .4-.5 (.44) - lower WC ratio = more strength -






4. Nonpotable/potable >90% - the acceptable






5. 94 lbs






6. For continued hydration and strength gains - otherwise only 50% strength gained - ups durability and abrasion resistance - prevent shrinkage cracking -






7. Tricalcium silicate (C3S) - dicdalcium silicate (C2S) - tricalcium aluminate (C3A) - tetracalcium aluminoferrite (C4AF)






8. Sometimes worse






9. Slow down rate of aluminate hydration -produces sulfate ions - flash set - false set in excess - higher rate of C-S-H (strength)






10. Stratified structure - disintegrated exitisting rocks - inorganice remains of marine animals - ex- limestone






11. Heat and pressure ex- marble - quaertzile






12. Normal- for general work






13. For early strength gain






14. Do NOT dump in separate piles - deposit in large piles -






15. Delay initial set - for long hauls or unusual placement






16. Trim subgrade - moisten subgrade - compact (use vibratory roller) - do NOT deposit frozen subgrade or disturb it - uniform - NO water added in front of paver -






17. Stop and reactivate hydration process






18. Bending moment - no shear in middle third






19. Corner was hotter on top than bottom - it warped and lifted - pressure makes corner crack -






20. Ups set time






21. By vibrating - otherwise rock pockets occure -






22. Loss of water from paste (evap) - 1% vol lowers - cracking - prevent by water loss control -






23. From chemicals or excessive drying






24. Good stability






25. Freeze-thaw cycles - bad curing or too much water






26. To improve workability for fresh concrete






27. misplaced joints - more specific- spalling- breaking away of edges






28. Moderate Sulfate Resistance- large piers






29. High Early Strength- fast track projects - we want low set time






30. High sulfate resistence -






31. Cement+water






32. Water beyond SSD condition






33. Space between layers in CSH - water in interparticle space held by hydrogen bonds






34. Crush clinker into super fine powder






35. Volcanic - hardening and crystal molten material ex- granite






36. Early stength at faster rate - for cold temps






37. To increase stability of materials - reduce rutting






38. Air bubbles for sapce for water to expand when freezes






39. Trapped air - reduces strength - ups permeabiity






40. makes it mushier because cement grains more distributed






41. Intentional well distributed air - up durability - adds strength






42. Ups capilary voids - lowers strength






43. Flowable - nonsegregating






44. Near surface water is cause






45. Greater =less free water needed to get a given slump






46. Sum of cumul % retained / 100 - higher= bigger particle sizes= smaller amount of agg needed






47. Ponding/immersion - spraying/fogging - wet coverings -impervious papers/plastic sheets - membrane forming - steam - insulating blankets/covers - electric/hot oil/ infrared -






48. Heavy traffic






49. Distributes cement grains - cement becomes more mushy -






50. Cement paste has bulk SG< cement particles
