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?

Option 3 : 1 and 4 only

Statement I- True

Water Cement ratio (W/C) is the ratio of weight of water to weight of cement in a concrete mix. This ratio decides the strength and workability of concrete. According to Abram’s law, the strength of a concrete mix is inversely related to the weight ratio of water to cement. Lower W/C ratio, higher the strength but lower is the workability.

Statement II & III- False

When a standard seized mould filled completely with concrete, it is lifted in vertically upward direction that causes the concrete to subsidise and this subsidence is referred as slump value and it is further used to indicate the workability of concrete.

Higher Subsidence ⇒ Higher the Slump value ⇒ Higher will be workability

Statement-IV – True

Factors affecting the workability of Concrete are:

1. Water Content

2. Water –Cement Ratio

3. Size of Aggregates

4. Admixtures

5. Texture

6. Grading of Aggregates

7. Cement –aggregate ratio

Which of the following statements are correct with reference to ensuring minimum shrinkage of prestressed concrete 1. The water-cement ratio and proportion of cement paste should be kept minimum to reduce shrinkage. 2. Aggregates of larger size, well graded for minimum void, need a smaller amount of cement paste, and attendant shrinkage will be smaller. 3. Harder and denser aggregates of low water absorptions and high modulus of elasticity will exhibit small shrinkage.?
