This document contains a series of multiple choice questions about civil engineering concepts related to concrete. Specifically, it tests knowledge about factors that influence the durability of concrete, the torsion resisting capacity of reinforced concrete sections, how water reacts with cement, the bond strength between steel and concrete, how water-cement ratio affects concrete properties, and which limit state is primarily controlled by the spacing of main reinforcement. The questions cover topics such as materials, structural analysis, and the limit state design approach.
