Aggregates should conform to PNS or ASTM standards and must be well-graded, easy workability and method of consolidated are such that the concrete can be poured without honeycomb or voids. What is the nominal maximum size of a coarse aggregate when working spaces between reinforcements for proper bonding?
- A.
A. Course aggregates shall be no larger than ½ the minimum clear spacing between individual reinforcing bars or wires, bundles of bars, or prestressing tendons or ducts
- B.
B. Course aggregates shall be no larger than 5/8 the minimum clear spacing between individual reinforcing bars or wires, bundles of bars, or prestressing tendons or ducts
- C.
C. Course aggregates shall be no larger than 7/8 the minimum clear spacing between individual reinforcing bars or wires, bundles of bars, or prestressing tendons or ducts
- D.
D. Course aggregates shall be no larger than ¾ the minimum clear spacing between individual reinforcing bars or wires, bundles of bars, or prestressing tendons or ducts
Correct Answer
D. D. Course aggregates shall be no larger than ¾ the minimum clear spacing between individual reinforcing bars or wires, bundles of bars, or prestressing tendons or ductsExplanation
The correct answer states that the coarse aggregates should be no larger than ¾ the minimum clear spacing between individual reinforcing bars or wires, bundles of bars, or prestressing tendons or ducts. This means that the size of the coarse aggregates should be smaller than three-fourths of the spacing between the reinforcements. This is important for proper bonding between the concrete and the reinforcements, as larger aggregates can create voids or honeycomb in the concrete, which can weaken the bond. Therefore, the correct answer ensures that the aggregates are of an appropriate size to ensure proper bonding and prevent any issues with the concrete structure.Rate this question:
