Workability of concrete can be measured using slump, compaction factor and Vee bee time. Consider the following statements for workability of concrete:

(i) As the slump increases, the Vebe time increases

(ii) As the slum increases, the compaction factor increases

Which of the following is TRUE?

Consider the following statements for air-entrained concrete:

(i) Air-entrainment reduces the water demand for a given level of workability

(ii) Use of air-entrained concrete is required in environments where cyclic freezing and thawing is expected.

Which of the following is TRUE?

The composition of an air-entrained concrete is given below:

Water : 184 kg /m³

Ordinary Portland Cement(OPC) : 368 kg /m³

Sand : 606 kg /m³

Coarse aggregate : 1155 kg /m³
