28. If poured concrete passes a cylinder Test at 1,400 psi, what is the expected compressive strength?
In this Question, it must be noted that the concrete in question was
a. 1,400 psi submitted to be tested on a cylinder test which it passed at 1,400 psi.
Knowing this, we can assume that concrete subjects are tested only after
b. 2,100 psi the concrete reaches its 7th day of Curing. By which we can totally assume
that at that age the concrete in question has 50% of its actual strength. This
means that you only need to multiply the result of the test by two to know
c. 2,800 psi the answer.
c. Control Joint
d. Isolation Joint
e. Contraction Joint
The test uses a thick-walled sample tube, with an outside diameter of 50.8
mm and an inside diameter of 35 mm, and a length of around 650 mm. This
is driven into the ground at the bottom of a borehole by blows from a slide
hammer with a mass of 63.5 kg (140 lb) falling through a distance of 760
mm (30 in). The sample tube is driven 150 mm into the ground and then
c. SPT (See Visual Dictionary Soil p.233)
the number of blows needed for the tube to penetrate each 150 mm (6 in)
up to a depth of 450 mm (18 in) is recorded. The sum of the number of
blows required for the second and third 6 in. of penetration is termed the
"standard penetration resistance" or the "N-value". In cases where 50
blows are insufficient to advance it through a 150 mm (6 in) interval the
penetration after 50 blows is recorded. The blow count provides an
indication of the density of the ground, and it is used in many empirical
geotechnical engineering formulae.
As used by foundation engineers, the act or process of sinking holes into
the overburden (sometimes to considerable depth into bedrock) with
rotary or drive sampling equipment for the purpose of recovering samples
d. Test boring
from which information on the physical characteristics of the materials
penetrated can be obtained; also applied to the sample or samples so
obtained.

73. What is the appropriate paint material for G.I. Sheet roofing?
Made of Alkyd resin; Alcohol based. (See VD Paints)
a. Alkyd Type
Where oil and resin emulsified in water makes a heterogeneous finishing
material by an emulsifying agent such as casein.
A great advantage of oil resin paint is that its viscosity can be easily reduced
by the addition of water. Water is added as a thinner for the same reason
that turpentine or mineral spirits is added to oil paints.
Other advantages of oil-resin emulsion paints are that it dries quickly (two
coats can be applied the same day); it is easy to apply; it is easy to recoat
with itself or other paint, and it has little tendency to fade. (CDEP)
Any Paint or varnish drying to a very smooth hard usually glossy finish.
Sometimes also referred to as oil based type of paint.
Paints which use varnish as a vehicle. They have the ability of levelling
b. Enamel Type
brush marks, are more resistant to washing and rough usage, and have a
harder and Tougher film. They can have either a glossy, semi glossy or matt
finish.
A paint having a latex binder that coalesces as, water evaporates from the
emulsion. Also called rubber-based paint, water base paint. (see VD)
Latex is made from synthetic latex which acts as the pigment binder and
the film-forming material for the paint.
A careful balance of synthetic latex and alkyds resins gives a solution that
can thinned with water for application as a continuous film with excellent
adhesion and wash ability.
c. Latex Type
Synthetic latex paints have little tendency to turn yellow because, unlike
oil paints, they absorb very little oxygen from the air.
Latex paint is the preferred paint for the plaster, cement, concrete and
masonry.
Even so, this was the answer because boysen roofguard, acrytex is actualy
latex based paint.
