Following questions are taken from Concrete Book by Mehta and Monterio
- Compared to steel , what are the engineering benefits of using concrete for structures?
- Describe in brief High Strength Concrete and High Performance Concrete
- What is the difference between strength and toughness? Why is the 28 - Days compressive strength of concrete generally specified?
- Discuss the significance of drying shrinkage, thermal shrinkage and creep in concrete
- which is common test performed for Durability of Concrete?
- explain how water cement ratio influence the strength of the cement paste matrix and the interfacial zone in concrete
- In general, how are the compressive and tensile strength of concrete related? which tests are used to find tensile strength of concrete?
- Draw a typical stress-strain curve for concrete. What is relationship between young's modulus of concrete and cube strength of concrete?
- which factors affect creep of concrete only and why?
- Describe five different type of Portland Cement and blended Portland cement based on BS EN 197
- briefly describe the measures that should be considered for the control of corrosion of embedded steel in concrete.
- What is the alkali-aggregate reaction? List some of the rock types that are vulnerable to attack by alkaline solutions. Discuss the effect of aggregate size on the phenomenon.
- what is minimum grade of concrete for water retaining structure based on BS 8007?
