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






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






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






4. max is 12 in - more free water= more slump






5. High sulfate resistence -






6. Cement+water






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






8. Water beyond SSD condition






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






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






11. Moderate Sulfate Resistance- large piers






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






13. Distributes cement grains - cement becomes more mushy -






14. 94 lbs






15. Trapped air - reduces strength - ups permeabiity






16. Heat and pressure ex- marble - quaertzile






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






18. From chemicals or excessive drying






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






20. To increase stability of materials - reduce rutting






21. Heavy traffic






22. By vibrating - otherwise rock pockets occure -






23. Crush clinker into super fine powder






24. makes it mushier because cement grains more distributed






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






26. Bending moment - no shear in middle third






27. Cement paste has bulk SG< cement particles






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






29. Cement+course aggregate






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






31. B/c of trucks over time






32. Consolidation - strike off - depress agg - darby or bull float - (TIME) - edging - jointing - floating - (TIME) - texturing - curing






33. Low Heat of Hydration- for careful control of heat - dams






34. For early strength gain






35. Sometimes worse






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






37. Calcareous (calcium) - argillaceous (aluminum) - iron oxide (iron) - gypsum (silicon)






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






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






40. Low stability






41. To improve workability for fresh concrete






42. Early stength at faster rate - for cold temps






43. Nonpotable/potable >90% - the acceptable






44. Ups capilary voids - lowers strength






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






46. Normal- for general work






47. Near surface water is cause






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






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






50. Ups set time
