exactly but they were not too hard to answer if can remember sulphate resistant concrete is good for
aggressive soils, slump measures workability and admixtures can aid in strength at different MCs

Also question on SPT testing for soils just need to know <4 is very loose, 4-10 – loose, 10-30 compact,
30-50 dense and >50 very dense,

d. Line of Sight
(no idea if question was what is most important.., what do you start with.., what is not
critical.., asked guy supervising about it and he said just to ignore question, he noted
the question number down and I think I got a free correct answer.)

I think a couple of others involved raft foundations and concrete cracking due to low MC, then another
roads one on definition of something I can’t remember, (but answer was actually kind of given in
question). Sorry that’s all I remember.
