1. Consider a cement, having foll composition: CzS= 21%, Cs8=55%, Cs
8% and CsAF=10% is used in actual constfuction of a beam with water to cement ri
(WIC) 0.5. Length of the beam element to be considered is 2 m and is exposed to rain;
rated with water up to a depth of 40. mm
gree of hydration is 80 % at the age under
_ consideration. Cement content in the concrete is 350 kg/m. The lime can dissolve only in
capillary pores and solubility of lime in water at 25°C is about 1.7 gm/L. Is all the lime
| produced would be dissolved? If all soluble lime leaches out, how much would be the
¥y of leached out lime? q 7
ee: a
ured specific surface ‘lity method for aggregate of size from 5
Wins 0.95 mm, assur size as geometric mean. The volume of 6
random particles measured by wat ment method are 420. 500, 52
~ and 595, all in mm, What is the angularit :2.What is void content of the aggregate
when packed in a random manner whereby it is known that for angularity factor of | the
void content is 0.45 and that for angularity factor of 2 it is 0.6. 6
Explain how water reducing agents Biter cement saving? Explain the
ia ‘action of air entraining agents? Ifthe surface tension of air water interface
