34
Q

These chemicals are compounds that enable the production ofconcretewith approximately 15% less water content.

A

Plasticizers

35
Q

The strength ofconcreteincreases when?

A

36
Q

These nailsare used for temporary construction wherenailremoval is required, such asconcreteforming and scaffoldings.

37
Q

This kind offootingis used to support single-columns and when the columns are arranged relatively at long distance. This the most inexpensive kind offooting.

A

Q

This material used inconcreteimproves the workability of concrete, and the strength and durability of hardenedconcrete. This material is called?

39
Q

This test measures the consistency of fresh concrete before it sets. It is performed to check the workability of freshly made concrete, and therefore the ease with which concrete flows.
