Which of the following reasons is not responsible for the preference of non-monolithical construction over monolithical construction in cement concrete flooring?

Which of the following reasons is not responsible for the preference of non-monolithical construction over monolithical construction in cement concrete flooring? Correct Answer Smaller overall thickness in monolithical construction

In cement concrete flooring, non-monolithical construction is preferred over monolithical construction because of the following disadvantages of monolithical construction. These are the development of hair cracks, damaging of the topping and slow work progress in monolithical construction. However, the only advantage of monolithical construction is that in this, good bonds are formed which result in smaller overall thickness.

B: Cement mixed with fine aggregate produces mortar for masonry, or with sand and gravel, produces concrete. C: Cement is seldom used on its own, but rather to bind sand and gravel (aggregate) together.  D: A cement is a binder, a substance used for construction that sets, hardens, and adheres to other materials to bind them together.
Consider the following statements: 1. If more water is added to concrete for increasing its workability, it results into concrete of low strength. 2. No slump is an indication of a good workable concrete. 3. Higher the slump of concrete, lower will be its workability. 4. Workability of concrete is affected by water content as well as water-cement ratio. Which of the above statements are correct?
Permeability in concrete is studied towards providing for, or guarding against, which of the following features? 1. The penetration by materials in solution may adversely affect the durability of concrete; moreover, aggressive liquids 'attack' the concrete. 2. In the case of reinforced concrete, ingress of moisture and air will result in corrosion of steel leading to an increase in the volume of steel, resulting in cracking and swilling of the concrete cover. 3. The moisture penetration depends on permeability and if the concrete can become saturated with water it is less vulnerable to frost action.
