310
Explanation:
If the SCM are added, it can be increased to 20 pounds per each required 100 pounds of
cementitious material in excess of 550 pounds per cubic yard.
,Term 3 of 81
Before the concrete pavement begins, which of the following needs more attention?
Tie bar detailing
Explanation:
As reinforcement work typically differs in pavement works, tie bar detailing needs more
attention than the other listed options.
Pre stressing steel
Explanation:
If the pre stressing steel is rusted, it cannot be used since it does not meet the compliance
requirements.
None of the above
Explanation:
Mix design is done based on the strength requirements and with theoretical calculations.
