Which of the following is NOT a typical admixtures? correct answers Portland cement
What is the relationship between moisture and curing concrete? correct answers Concrete should
be kept moist throughout the curing phase
Concrete correct answers made from the mixture of portland cement, water, fine aggregate
(sand), and coarse aggregate (gravel/crushed stone).
CSI (Construction Specifications Institute) correct answers Responsible for creating universal
guidelines. 3rd Division is concrete. 1st thing given is plans and specifications (which give
instructions and more information).
Romans correct answers Considered the inventors of concrete
Reinforced concrete correct answers term used when steel is embedded in the concrete. Concrete
and steel are combined for both compressive and contensular strength.
What does the steel do ? correct answers Steel helps to pick up for the contensular strength that
concrete lacks.
Heat of Hydration correct answers When concrete cures, it gives off heat and forms bonds that
hold the aggregate together.
Sustainable Design correct answers Concrete is reusable and is repurposed for the aggregate of a
concrete mix.
American society for testing materials (ASTM) correct answers Establishes standard
specifications for commonly used materials of construction.

, TYPE III correct answers HIGH EARLY STRENGTH - used when facing time constraints.
Putting weight on the slab early in the building process.
TYPE IV correct answers LOW HEAT - Building high rise in Houston with limited space/low

HYDRATION
EARLY STRENGTH
REDUCE THE TIME
