Worksheet time: 7mins
An artificial, stonelike building material made by mixing cement and various mineral aggregates with sufficient water to cause the cement to set and bind the entire mass.
Cement
Reinforced Concrete
Concrete
Natural Cement
A hydraulic cement made by burning a mixture of clay and limestone in a rotary kiln and pulverizing the resulting clinker into a very fine powder.

The inherent strength of concrete depends on the quality of its?
Water
Admixture
Aggregate
Cement
Aggregate having a particle size distribution characterized by uniform grading.
Uniform Grading
Coarse Aggregate
Graded Aggregate
Fine Aggregate
Aggregate consisting of sand having a particle size smaller than 1/4 in. (6.4 mm)
Fine Aggregate
Coarse Aggregate
Graded Aggregate
Particle size distribution
An Admixture that slows the setting of a concrete, mortar or plaster mix in order to allow more time for placing and working the mix.
Air-entraining agent
Accelerator
Retartder
Surface-Active Agent
An admixture for reducing the amount of mixing water required for the desired workability of a concrete or mortar mix.
Air-Entraining agent
water-reducing agent
retarder
accelerator
A textured finish given to a fresh plaster or concrete surface by troweling with a circular, overlapping motion.
bushhammered finish
swirl finish
trowel finish
float finish
Formation of hollow bumps of different sizes on concrete due to entrapped air under finished concrete surface
Blistering
Cracking
Crazing
Dusting
Cause of Blistering
Excessive Vibration or presence of air entrapped
Over reinforcement, under reinforcement
Rapid hardening of top surface of concrete due to high temperature
Excessive amount of water during mixing process causing bleeding with the fine particles
Blistering Prevention/ Correction
Good concrete mix proportioning of ingredients, covering the top surface to reduce evaporation
Balance Design
Proper curing by dampening subgrade to prevent absorption of water from concrete
Use low slump concrete mix
The following are the desired properties of hardened concrete except one.
Appearance
Durability
Strength
Workability
Identify: A
Form liner
bulkhead
keyway
spreader
Identify: C
waler
strongback
spreader
keyway
The process of eliminating voids other than entrained air within newly placed concrete and ensuring close contact of the concrete with form surfaces and embedded reinforcement
consolidation
segregation
stratification
bleeding
The separation of an excessively wet or overvibrated concrete mix into horizontal layers with increasingly lighter material migrating toward the top.
stratification
segregation
consolidation
bleeding
