Correct Answer 2 and 3 only

Broken-brick aggregate

Definition

This type of aggregate is obtained by crushing waste bricks.

Usage

This type of aggregate is used for less important works such as a foundation in light buildings, floorings, walkways.

The density of broken brick aggregate is less compared to the coarse aggregate. Hence used in light-weight reinforced concrete floors.

Broken-brick concrete can be designed to obtained compressive strength(between 15MPa to 35MPa) generally required in practice and such a concrete possesses satisfactory structural properties.

Density

1600-2000 kg/m3

Each of the question below consists of a question and three statements number I, II and III given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statement are sufficient to answer the question. Two person X and Y together can make 25% of total number of bricks in 4.8 days.
