Question 1

What does the sieve analysis help to determine?

  • Water absorption
  • Particle size distribution
  • Aggregates' color

💡 Hint: Think about how we sort materials based on size.

Question 2

True or False: A high aggregate crushing value is preferable for high-quality concrete.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Higher values generally suggest weaker material.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a concrete mix for a highway that needs aggregates with a crushing value of less than 25%. Describe the testing methods you would employ to ensure quality.

💡 Hint: Consider the types of tests previously discussed.

Question 2

An engineer discovers that the aggregates used in a concrete mix exhibit high alkali reactivity. Suggest mitigation strategies and explain their importance.

💡 Hint: Review the alkali-aggregate reactivity section for strategies.
