MSTE SET 5 Flashcards
Joints placed in concrete pavements, which are usually placed transversely, at regular intervals, to provide adequate expansion space for the slab to expand when the pavement is subjected to an increase in temperature.
EXPANSION JOINT
Joints placed in concrete pavements, which are usually placed transversely regular intervals across the width of the pavement to release some of the tensile stresses that are due to a decrease in temperature.
CONTRACTION JOINT
Joints placed in concrete pavements, which are usually placed transversely across the pavement width to provide suitable transition between concrete placed at different times or on different days.
CONSTRUCTION JOINT
Joints placed in concrete pavements at right angles to the center line of the pavement is called:
TRANSVERSE JOINTS
It is a type of thermoplastic lane marking designed to aid and provide motorist with visual, audio, and warning on the road.
RUMBLE STRIPS
Markings which are placed on sealed shoulders or other sealed portion of the road where traffic is not desired. The spacing between bars is generally 6 meters.
DIAGONAL MARKING
It is the process where a load is prepared for lifting using a lifting machine. The main part of this process is the tying up of the load with sling and other connecting devices so that the load could be hooked onto a crane.
RIGGING
Complete or partial dismantling of a building or structure by pre-planned and controlled methods or procedures.
DEMOLITION
Any temporary elevated platform used for supporting employees or materials or both in the course of any construction works.
SCAFFOLD
A type of rigid pavement which has no temperature steel or dowels for the load transfer.
PLAIN CONCRETE PAVEMENT
A type of rigid pavement having dowels for the transfer of traffic loads across joints.
SIMPLY REINFORCED CONCRETE PAVEMENT
A type of rigid pavement which has no transverse joints, except construction joints or expansion joint when they are necessary at specific positions such as at bridges.
CONTINUOUSLY REINFORCED CONCRETE PAVEMENT
The measurement of the extent to which a road surface deviates from the plane is called pavement _______.
ROUGHNESS
Pavement ______________ refers to the condition of a pavement in terms of its general appearance.
DISTRESS
Pavement ______________ refers to the structural adequacy of the pavement section.
DEFLECTION
Describes the effectiveness of a pavement to prevent or reduce skid related crashes.
SKID RESISTANCE
Capacity for two-lane highways ranges from _____________ passenger car equivalents per hour.
2000-2800
The time for mixing of ingredients for a concrete cement road should be done for at least:
1.5 MINS
The number of days final curing for a concrete cement pavement is done for:
14 DAYS
