Question
(1) Autogenous shrinkage of concrete is A. the microscopic volume reduction at an early age; B. also called drying shrinkage; C. facilitated by larger w/c D. enlarged if 10% of cement is replaced by silica fume. (2) In concrete compressive strength tests, which of the following descriptions is obviously incorrect? A. The higher the loading rate, the higher the tested strength; B. The larger the specimen size, the lower the tested strength; C crhbe specinen' aprt strengh lowerer than oylinder spectimen of comparable D. All of above. (3) The relation between tensile strength and compressive strength of a concrete reads A. For a plain high strength concrete with a compressive strength of 100 MPa, its tensile strength can be as high as 20 MPa 3 The ten teseoaotes h C. Tensile strength of a high strength concrete can be higher than its compressive strength; D. None of above.
