5. Dry intervals in surface wetting leads to ___________
a) Cracking
b) Fogging
c) High strength
d) Good workability
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Dry intervals or patches can lead to crazing or cracking on the slab surface.

6. Damp proofing ____________ resist water well enough.
a) Does
b) Does not
c) Doesn’t effect
d) Depends on the temperature
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Damp proofing does not resist water well enough to prevent oversaturation from ground water, or excessive and constant humidity.

7. Chemically active pore fillers ____________ the setting of concrete.
a) Retards
b) Decrease
c) Accelerates
d) No change
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Chemically active pore fillers accelerates the setting of concrete and thus render the concrete more impervious at an early age.

8. Chemically inactive pore fillers ____________ the workability.
a) Decrease
b) Increase
c) Don’t affect
d) Improve
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Chemically inactive pore fillers improve the workability and to facilitate the reduction of water for given workability and to make dense concrete which is basically impervious.
