This set of Concrete Technology Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Water-Cement Ratio”.
1. Water cement ratio is ______
a) Volume of water to the volume of cement
b) Volume of water to the volume of concrete
c) Volume of concrete to the volume of cement
d) Volume of water to the volume of aggregates
View Answer
Explanation: The water–cement ratio is the ratio of the weight of water to the weight of cement used in a concrete mix.
2. A lower ratio leads to _____
a) High strength
b) Low strength
c) Low durability
d) Ease to work
View Answer
Explanation: A lower ratio leads to higher strength and durability, but may make the mix difficult to work with and form.
3. For concrete exposed to a very aggressive environment the w/c should be lower than _________
a) 1
b) .5
c) .4
d) .8
View Answer
Explanation: Higher is the aggressiveness of the environment lower should be the w/c ratio. For concrete exposed to a very aggressive environment, the w/c should be lower than 0.40.
