22
Q

Used to print the results of the test conducted.

A

Printer

23
Q

Used to turn on the machine by rotating the switch clockwise.

A

Power Switch

24
Q

A fail - safe control switch that provides both safety for the machinery and for the person using the machinery. Used to stop the machinery quickly when there is a risk of injury or the workflow requires stopping.

A

Emergency Stop

25
Q

Used to ensure that the specified test rate is accurately maintained throughout the test.

A

Digital Controller

26
Q

It is a pre-cast hollow building unit with cells composed of Portland Cement, suitable aggregates, with or without inclusions of other materials.

A

Concrete Hollow Blocks (CHB)

27
Q

Concrete mortar was used by the Romans as early as _______.

A

200 B.C.

28
Q

A building made of concrete hollow blocks provides comfortable interiors due to __________________.

A

thermal insulation

29
Q

Standard Specification for hollow load-bearing concrete masonry units

A

ASTM C90

30
Q

What is the recommended water-cement ration?

A

0.5

31
Q

Commonly being used in building construction such as walls, partitions, fences or dividers. They are ranging from 3 to 6 in. and are not capable of super-imposed load and are carrying their own weights only.

A

Non-Load Bearing Concrete Hollow Blocks

32
Q

Are blocks whose thickness ranging from 6 to 8 inches or more, and capable of carrying super imposed load aside from its own weight. This may be used in exterior walls below grade and for unplastered exterior wall above grade that may or may not be exposed to weather.

A

Load Bearing Concrete Hollow Blocks

33
Q

Standard Specification for Non-Load Bearing Concrete masonry units.

A

ASTM C129

34
Q

Standard Specification for sampling and testing of concrete hollow blocks.

A

ASTM C140

35
Q

1 quality test for every ____________ CHB.

A

10,000 units

36
Q

How many units of CHB per 1 quality test.

A

6 units

37
Q

What test do Concrete Hollow Blocks undergo.

A
  1. Dimension Measurements
  2. Compressive Strength Test
  3. Absorption Test
38
Q

How do you calculate the minimum compressive strength of a CHB.

A

Maximum Load/Minimum Net Area (MPa)

39
Q

This test is performed as to determine the actual percentage of water and the absorption characteristics of the concrete when subjected in a saturated condition.

A

Absorption Test

40
Q

How do you calculate the density of CHB. (kg/m³)

A

C -Dry weight of unit/(E-Saturated weight of unit) — (F-Suspended Immersed Weight of Unit) × 1000

41
Q

Net Volume, (A) m³

A

C - Dry weight of unit ÷ D - Density

42
Q

Average Net Area

A

A - Net Volume ÷ H - height of unit

43
Q

Gross area

A

L × W
where:
L = length of unit
W = width of unit

44
Q

Absorption, %

A

(E - C/C) × 100

where:
E = saturated weight of unit, kg
C = Dry weight of unit, kg

45
Q

Absorption, kg/m³

A

(E - C ÷ E - F) × 1000

where:
E = saturated weight of unit, kg
C = dry weight of unit, kg
F = suspended Immersed weight of unit, kg

46
Q

Moisture Content, %

A

(G - C ÷ E - C) × 100

where:
G = receive weight of unit, kg
C = dry weight of unit, kg
E = saturated weight of unit, kg
