7 Mix Proportioning Method for Concrete WM WAFAM
- Weight Method - Maximum density Method - Water Cement Ratio - Absolute-Volume Method - Fineness Modulus Method - Arbitrary Standard Method - Minimum Voids Method
34
Fairly simple and quick for estimating mix proportion using an assumed or known weight of concrete per unit volume
Weight Method
35
More accurate method involves used of specific gravity values for all ingredients to calculate the it and each will occupy in a unit volumes of concrete.
Absolute-Volume Method
36
It is used to indicate an index number which is roughly proportional to the average size of the particle in the entire quantity of aggregates
Fineness Modulus
37
Ratio of fine agregates and coarse aggregates to develop a dense mix that lies between 1:1/2 and 1:2/1/2.
Arbitrary Standard Method
38
The quantity of fine aggregate used in the mixed is about 10% more than the voids in the coarse aggregates and the quantity of cement is kept about 15% more than the voids in the fine aggregates
Minimum Voids Method
39
In this method a box of fixed volume is filled with varying proportion of fine and coarse aggregates.
Maximum density Method
40
The amount of water in mixing concrete is the most important factor affecting the strength of a given proportion
Water Cement Ratio
41
Properties of concrete are divided into two parts:
- Properties of Fresh Concrete or Plastic Stage - Properties of Hardened Concrete
42
is a measure of the stiffness or sloppiness or fluidity of the mix.
Consistency of a concrete mix or Consistency
43
It is therefore necessary to measure the consistency of concrete at _______________.
regular intervals
44
It is therefore necessary to measure this at regular intervals.
consistency of concrete
45
Commonly used to measure consistency of concrete
Slump Test
46
From the time of mixing, fresh concrete gradually loses ___________.
consistency
47
It is caused due to the following reasons: hydration of cement (generating more heat), loss of water by evaporation, absorption of water by dry aggregates and absorption of water by surfaces in contact with the concrete
slump loss in concrete/slump loss
48
The ease which concrete can be compacted fully without segregation and bleeding.
Workability
49
It is the relative ease with which concrete can be placed, compacted and finished without separation or segregation of the individual materials
workability of a concrete mix
50
True or False Workability is the SAME thing as consistency.
false ; NOT THE SAME
51
This is not the same thing as consistency
workability
52
True or False Mixes with the same consistency can have different workability's, if they are made with different sizes of stone; the smaller the stone the more workable the concrete
True
53
True or False It is POSSIBLE to measure workability but the slump test, together with an assessment of properties like stone content, cohesiveness and plasticity; it gives a useful indication.
false ; NOT POSSIBLE
54
Implies the separation of the coarser particles from the mix which results in non homogeneity of the concrete mix
Segregation
55
The appearance of water along the cement particles on surface of freshly laid concrete on compaction and finishing
Bleeding
56
Cement and aggregate particles have densities about three times that of water. In fresh concrete they consequently tend to settle and displace mixing water which migrates upward and may collect on the top
Settlement and Bleeding
57
The hardening of concrete before its hydration is known as ______________.
Setting
58
It derives its strength by the hydration of cement particles.
Concrete
59
The _____________ of cement is not a momentary action but a process continuing for a long time.
hydration
60
it reduces the density of concrete and consequently reduces the strength.
Air entrainment.
61

true
74
True or False Most concrete buildings are demolished due to DETERIORATION rather than OBSOLESCENCE

it requiresc different degrees of durability depending on the exposure environment and properties desired
concrete
76
The resistance of concrete to the flow of water through its pores.
Impermeability
77
Excess water during concreting leaves a large number of continuous pores leading to ______________.

82
Deformation of concrete structure under sustained load is defined as _______________.

83
This deformation usually occurs in the direction the force is applied

86
Sometimes it is called the impermeability of concrete
Water Tightness.
87
Water Tightness is sometimes called _____________.
impermeability of concrete
88
_________ of concrete is directly related to the durability of concrete
Water tightness
89
True or False The MORE the permeability; the the more the durability of concrete.
false ; The LESSER the permeability; the more the durability of concrete
90
this has moderate thermal conductivity, much lower than metals, but significantly higher than other building materials such as wood, and it is a poor insulator.

91
is frequently used for 'fireproofing' of steel structures.
