"Its fills the voids between aggregate and help stiffening the binder to produce a stronger and stiffer mix that could last long."

This statement refers to

a)

Aggregate

b)

Steel Reinforcement

c)

Cement

d)

Fillers

2.

“Aggregate” is a collective term for sand, gravel and crushed stone mineral materials in their natural or processed state

a)

True

b)

False

3.

The raw material which is used as road aggregate can be further classified as EXCEPT

a)

Igneus

b)

Burnt Shale

c)

Sedimentary

d)

Crusher run

4.

"Pass sieve 75 micron, consist fine material such as cement, lime, crushed aggregate dust". The statement refers to ...

a)

Coarse Aggregate

b)

Mineral Filler

c)

Fine Aggregate

d)

Sand

5.

Which statement is TRUE about open graded

a)

Refers to a gradation that is near maximum density.

b)

Refers to a gradation that contains only a small percentage of aggregate particles in the mid-size range. These mixes can be prone to segregation during placement.

c)

Refers to a gradation that contains only a small percentage of aggregate particles in a small range. This results in more air voids because there are not enough small particles to fill in the voids between the large particles.

d)

Refers to gradation that contains most of the particles in a very narrow size range. In essence, all the particles are the same size.

6.

The following is list FOUR (4) important properties of aggregates EXCEPT

a)

Strength

b)

d)
8.

"Size used is aggregate passing 14 mm retained 10 mm. Aggregate is placed in the mould and compacted in a mould with 25 times of rodding. Then, it is subjected to 15 times of impact loading. After impact, calculate the weight crushed using 2.36 mm sieve size and determine the AIV " The above statement refers to ...

a)

Ten Percent Fine Value Test

b)

Aggregate Impact Value Test

c)

Aggregate Crushing Value Test

d)

Los Angeles Abrasion (LAAV)

9.

The objectives of tests on Soundness are

a)

To determine resistance to disintegration due to cycle of wetting and drying, heating and cooling (weathering)

b)

To determine the percent of degradation under combination of abrasion or attrition, impact and grinding

c)

To determine percentage of flaky aggregate.

d)

To indicate the strength and porosity of aggregate

10.

The following list is FOUR (4) difference between tar and bitumen EXCEPT

a)
