a) 1-4
b) 5
c) 0-1
d) 9-15
View Answer
Explanation: 1 % to 4% is the range for porosity of sulphur infiltered concrete and 9% to 15 % is the range for OPC.
9. _______ % is the range for absorptivity of this concrete.
a) 1-4
b) 5
c) 0-1
d) 9-15
View Answer
Explanation: 0 % to 1% is the range for absorptivity of Sulphur in filtered concrete and 5 % is the range for OPC.

14. Polypropylene fibers is hydrophobic in nature. True or false?
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Polypropylene fibers is hydrophobic in nature that’s why they can be easily mixed as they do not need long time during mixing.
