15 Question One:
Which of these sentences are true ( ), and which are false ( )?
1. ( ) Hydration of cement is the reaction between cement particles and water, including chemical
and physical processes.
2. ( ) If ettringite is formed before the concrete has hardened and free space has been occupied by
other hydration products, it hence create cracks and volume instability.
3. ( ) C3S contributes the most to early strength and C2S to long-term strength of Portland cement.
4. ( ) The water bound chemically by C3S and C2S was shown to be very approximately 24 and 21
percent of the mass of the two silicates, respectively.
5. ( ) The water bound chemically by C3A and C4AF was shown to be very approximately 45 and
41 percent of the mass of the two compound, respectively.
6. ( ) C–S–H occupies about 75% of the structural component in a cement paste and forms directly
on the surface of cement particles.
7. ( ) C–S–H is the major strength provider for Portland cement concrete due to its amount and
small size.
8. ( ) C–S–H can increase the pH value to over 12 and it is good for corrosion protection of steel.
9. ( ) CH is usually called a glue gel binder.
10. ( ) C3S releases more hydration heat, C2S releases less heat.
11. ( ) Rapid-hardening Portland cement ( Type III), as its name implies, develops sitting more
rapidly.
12. ( ) Special very rapid-hardening Portland cements strength developments achieved by grinding
the cement to a very high fineness 700-900 m2/kg.
13. ( ) Sulfate attack is greatly accelerated if accompanied by alternating wetting and drying.
14. ( ) The magnesia content of sulfate-resisting cement is limited to 5 percent.
15. ( ) Segregation may happen when the concrete is mixed, transported, placed or compacted.
16. ( ) Bleeding is defined as phenomenon by virtue of which water appears on the surface after a
concrete has been placed and set.

17. ( ) It’s good to increase the workability of concrete with adding more water because this
increases its strength and durability.
18. ( ) Increase of aggregate/cement ratio increases workability.
19. ( ) More cement is needed when finer aggregate grading are used.
20. ( ) Sufficient paste is required to coat the aggregates and to provide lubrication to decrease
interactions between aggregate particles during mixing.
21. ( ) More rounded shapes interfere with the movement of adjacent particles.
22. ( ) Round surface requires more lubrication for movement.
23. ( ) Shape can influence strength by increasing surface area available for bonding with the paste.
24. ( ) Durability of aggregate can be divided into physical and chemical causes, chemical durability
– exposure to freezing and thawing, wetting and drying.
25. ( ) The typical bulk density of aggregate used in making normal concrete ranges from 1200 to
1750 kg/m3.
26. ( ) The relative density of an aggregate is defined is the ratio of its volume to the volume of an
equal absolute of water.
27. ( ) The relative density of an aggregate (ASTM C 127 and C 128) is defined is the ratio of its
mass to the mass of an equal absolute of water.
28. ( ) Low abrasion resistance of aggregate may decrease the quantity of fines in the concrete
during mixing; and hence increases the water requirement.
29. ( ) HRWRs reduce the water content of a given concrete mixture between 12 and 25%.
30. ( ) The main reason for air entrainment is to improve the durability of the concrete to freeze-
thaw degradation.
