BT5 QUIZ 2:CONCRETE

1) This is a concreting technique which is undertaken ‘in situ’ or at the site utilizing
temporary formworks. – Cast in place
2) Concrete mix of Class A (1:2:4). – Footings, columns, beams, r.c slabs
3) A test to show the workability of concrete. – slump test
4) Minimum cover for steel reinforcement for beam and column – 38mm
5) Type of slab that is uniformly thick, reinforced in one direction, and cast integrally with
parallel supporting beams.- One way slab
6) It is a construction product produced by casting concrete in a reusable mold or "form"
which is then cured in a controlled environment, transported to the construction site
and maneuvered into place. – precast
7) Precast elements suitable for intermediate spans, internal longitudinal voids replace
much of the nonworking concrete. – Hollow core slab
8) A precast slab for short spans and minimum slab depths. – solid flat slab
9) A precast slab for the longest spans, still deeper elements are required.- double tee
10) It is a method for overcoming concrete’s natural weakness in tension. – prestressed concrete
11) It is cast around steel tendons (cables or bars) while they are under tension. – pre
tensioned
12) It is achieved by casting concrete into pre-assembled forms in combination with rebar
and steel cable (strand) reinforcement. – post tension
13) This is made up of a 75mm prestressed concrete slab. – Uni span floor system
14) These are precast concrete walls created by assembling forms and pouring large slabs
called panels positioned around the building slabs. – Tils-up wall system
15) This flooring system consists of 200mm wide precast prestressed concrete ribs spaced
generally at 900mm centres with timber infills placed between them. – Interspan floor
slab
16) It is a reinforced concrete frame system with a uniform thickness that is supported
directly over the columns or the load-bearing walls. – Flat Plate System
17) It is a slab system which consists of series of parallel reinforced concrete T beams
framing into reinforced concrete girders. – ribbed/ waffle slab
18) The system was designed to decrease the weight of traditional full-concrete slabs. – two
way ribbed slab
19) It is a method of constructing concrete buildings by casting the floor or roof slab on top
of the previous slab and then raising (jacking) the slab up with hydraulic jacks. – lift
span/lift slab system
20) A precast, prestressed concrete product used for floor and roof slab system. It is a
concrete product with 5,500 psi. - c-joist slab
21) The topping, usually 2 inches (50 mm) thick, bonds during curing to the rough top of the
precast elements and becomes a working part of their structural action.-true
22) Slip Form system is a construction method in which concrete is poured into a
continuously moving form. – true
23) The hollow core slab has tubular voids extending the full length of the slab, typically with
a diameter equal to the 1/4-1/2 the thickness of the slab.- 2/3-3/4 thk.
24) A flat plate floor system does not demand any beam.-true
25) A flat plate floor can be constructed with an economical span of 8 to 12m for ordinary
reinforced flat plate floor.- 6-8m
26) Tilt up wall system created by assembling forms and pouring large slabs called panels
positioned around the building slabs.-true
27) Waffle and ribbed slab system is suitable where the live loads are huge as heavy
manufacturing buildings, warehouses. -false
28) Precast causes leaks, if not properly installed and sealed.- true
29) Cast in place is versatile as it is formed and built on site-true
