This set of Concrete Technology MCQs focuses on “Factors Causing Variation in the Quality of Concrete”.
1. Generally what is the w/c ratio?
a) .25
b) .5
c) .75
d) 1
View Answer
Explanation: Generally the water cement ratio is .42-.5 and if it exceeds it will create pores in concrete.
2. Silica fume is _________
a) Less reactive
b) Neutral
c) More reactive
d) Absent in concrete
View Answer
Explanation: One of the most beneficial uses for silica fume is in concrete, because of its both properties, it is a very reactive pozzolana.
3. Content of SiO2 in silica fume?
a) 52%
b) 35%
c) 21.9%
d) 85-97%
View Answer
Explanation: The content of SiO2 in silica fume is 85-97%. 35% is the content of SiO2 in Calcareous (ASTM C618 Class C) Fly Ash.
4. What is the content of Al2O3 in fly ash?
a) 30-60%
b) 15-30%
c) Up to 30%
d) 1-7%
View Answer
Explanation: The content of Al2O3 in fly ash has been tested according to procedures specified in IS: 1727-1967.
5. The property of a material that resists penetration or indentation by means of abrasion or scratching is known as ____________
a) Strength
b) Hardness
c) Stiffness
d) Toughness
View Answer
Explanation: The property of a material that resists penetration or indentation by means of abrasion or scratching is known as hardness.

a) Diagonal
b) Surface parallel to load applied
c) Surface perpendicular to load applied
d) Lateral
View Answer
Explanation: The failure occurs i.e. the crack appears along the diagonal during the compression test of cast iron.
7. It opens the area of improvement for quality construction rationally based on the documents from ___________ projects.
a) Previous
b) Next
c) Later
d) Future
View Answer
Explanation: It opens the area of improvement for quality construction rationally based on the documents from previous projects.
