Control tests test I
Decide whether these statements are true or false:
1. a). The necessity for curing arises from the fact that the strength and durability of concrete will be fully developed only if it is properly cured.
b). The necessity for curing arises from the fact that any delay in curing will lead to evaporation of mixing water.
c). The necessity for curing arises from the fact that hydration of cement can take place only in water-filled capillaries.
2. a). Evaporation of water from concrete depends on the temperature, humidity of the surrounding air and on the velocity of wind.
b). Evaporation of water from concrete depends on the moisture retentive film applied on fresh concrete surface.
c). Evaporation of water from concrete depends on the extent of areas of concrete which are directly exposed to sunlight.
3. a). Curing is essential in the production of concrete as the early drying may lead to shrinkage and cracking of concrete.
b). Curing is essential in the production of concrete to have the desired properties.
c). Curing is essential in the production of concrete for making precast concrete components.
4. a). The amount of mixing water in the concrete at the time of placement is provided by the use of a moisture retentive film.
b). The amount of mixing water in the concrete at the time of placement should be enough for developing strength and durability of concrete.
c). The amount of mixing water in the concrete at the time of placement is normally more than required for hydration.
5. a). White or gray pigments are often incorporated to provide heat reflectance.
b). White or gray pigments are often incorporated to provide aesthetic properties of concrete.
c). White or gray pigments are often incorporated to provide a base for the later applications.
