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






2. Moderate Sulfate Resistance- large piers






3. Ups capilary voids - lowers strength






4. Stop and reactivate hydration process






5. From chemicals or excessive drying






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






7. makes it mushier because cement grains more distributed






8. Bending moment - no shear in middle third






9. 94 lbs






10. Ups set time






11. Cement+course aggregate






12. Crush clinker into super fine powder






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






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






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






16. Source of hotgases - biggest piece of moving equipment






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






18. For early strength gain






19. Heavy traffic






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






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






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






23. Heat and pressure ex- marble - quaertzile






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






25. By vibrating - otherwise rock pockets occure -






26. To increase stability of materials - reduce rutting






27. Flowable - nonsegregating






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






29. Low stability






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






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






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






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






34. To improve workability for fresh concrete






35. Distributes cement grains - cement becomes more mushy -






36. Sometimes worse






37. Early stength at faster rate - for cold temps






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






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






40. Nonpotable/potable >90% - the acceptable






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






42. Water beyond SSD condition






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






44. Cement+water






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






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






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






48. Cement paste has bulk SG< cement particles






49. Cement+sand






50. B/c of trucks over time
