3)  The mix design can be defined as 'the process of selecting suitable ingredients of concrete and determining their relative
proportions with the object of producing concrete of certain minimum strength and durability as economically as possible.

4)  Curing and Methods of curing:

Def:

It is process of maintaining internal moisture in concrete So as to Complete hate of hydration process of Cement.

Methods of Curing:

water Curing:

1. Spraying coater

2. Covering by guny bag

3. Ponding
2 MARK ANSWERS
5)  i) Joint Sealants

ii) Backer Rod

iii) ConcretePatching

iv) CompoundGrout

6)  Stripping time in concrete is when you can safely remove the molds or formwork. It's the point when the concrete
is strong enough to support itself without losing its shape. The exact timing depends on factors like the concrete mix and
environmental conditions, and it's crucial to balance between removing the forms early to save time and waiting long
enough to prevent damage to the concrete
2 MARK ANSWERS

a) weight batching is more accurate. a) volume batching is less accurate

b) In this Process Cement is always measured b) In this method ingredient and


by its weight. measured by volume.

c) For big work on sight weight batching is c) For small work on sight volume
used. batching is used.

d) Measuring tools are required d) No measuring tools are required

e) Skilled labor are required. e) No Skilled labor are required


2 MARK ANSWERS
8)  characteristics of Ready-mix concrete are as follows:

1.Consistency: It's uniformly mixed for reliable quality.

2.Convenience: Pre-mixed and delivered, saving time and labor.

3.Quality Control: Rigorous testing ensures it meets standards.

4.Customization: Mix can be tailored for specific project needs.


2 MARK ANSWERS
9) Accelerating admixtures are added to increase the rate of early strength development in
concrete to-

(ANY TWO)

(i) permit earlier removal of form work;

(ii) reduce the required period of curing;

(iii) advance the time that a structure can be placed in service;

(iv) partially compensate for the retarding effect of low temperature during cold weather
concreting;

(v) in the emergency repair work.


2 MARK ANSWERS
10)  Two disadvantages of air-entraining admixtures in concrete are:

1.Reduced Strength: They can weaken the concrete's compressive strength if not properly dosed.

2.Increased Cost: Using these admixtures adds to the overall cost of the concrete mix.
