Q:

Plasticizers are used in situations ___________

A) Where high degree of workability is required B) Where medium degree of workability is required
C) Where very low degree of workability is required D) Where low degree of workability is required
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Where high degree of workability is required

Explanation: The decrease in the water/cement ratio enhances the concrete’s strength and longevity. Plasticizers are sometimes used in mass concrete to lower the cement content and hydration heat. Where low degree of workability is required like Deep beams, column and beam junctions.

Q:

The shrinkage of concrete in prestressed members results in ___________

A) Shortening B) Elongation
C) Bulking D) Stressing
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Shortening

Explanation: The shrinkage of concrete in prestressed members is due to the gradual loss of moisture which results in changes in volume, rich mixes exhibit relatively greater shrinkage than lean mixes since the contraction of the cement gel increases with the cement content, the shrinkage also depends upon the degree of hardening of the concrete at the commencement of drying and the shrinkage of concrete in prestressed members results in a shortening of tensioned wires and hence contributes to the loss of stress.

Q:

If one of the vernier is at 0° then another vernier reading shows / also shows ______

A) 90° B) 0°
C) 180° D) 45°
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 180°

Explanation: Turning the upper and lower plates in opposite directions till the zero of the one of the vernier is against the zero of the scale. Next clamp the plates together by upper clamp and lower clamp and bring the two zeros into exact coincidence by turning upper tangent screw. Now when we take reading on another vernier it should be 180°, if there is no instrument error.
