    For highly-early strength concrete shall be maintained above?

    • 10 Degree Celsius and a moist condition for at least the 1st 10 days after placement

    • 10 Degree Celsius and a moist condition for at least the 1st 7 days after placement

    • 10 Degree Celsius and a moist condition for at least the 1st 3 days after placement

    • 10 Degree Celsius and a moist condition for at least the 1st 10 days after placement

    Correct Answer
    A. 10 Degree Celsius and a moist condition for at least the 1st 3 days after placement
    Explanation
    For highly-early strength concrete, it is important to maintain a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a moist condition for at least the first 3 days after placement. This is because the hydration process of concrete, which is responsible for its strength development, is highly dependent on temperature and moisture. By keeping the concrete at a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and in a moist condition, it allows for optimal hydration and ensures the concrete reaches its desired strength quickly.

    For Conduits and Pipes Embedded in concrete column, what is the minimum percentage? 

    • 5%

    • 3%

    • 2%

    • 4%

    Correct Answer
    A. 4%
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 4%. In construction, when conduits and pipes are embedded in concrete columns, a minimum percentage of reinforcement is required to ensure structural integrity and prevent cracking or failure. This reinforcement percentage helps to distribute the load and stresses evenly throughout the column, enhancing its strength and durability. A higher percentage of reinforcement provides better reinforcement, but 4% is the minimum requirement for conduits and pipes embedded in concrete columns.

    • Simply supported

    • One end continuous

    • Cantilever

    • Both end continuous

    Correct Answer
    A. Cantilever
    Explanation
    For a one-way slab, the minimum thickness using L/10 is different depending on the type of support. For simply supported and one end continuous slabs, the minimum thickness is L/10. However, for cantilever slabs, the minimum thickness is L/8. Therefore, the correct answer is cantilever.

    For one way slab the min. thickness of one end continuous will be 

    • L/24

    • L/10

    • L/28

    • L/20

    Correct Answer
    A. L/24
    Explanation
    The correct answer is L/24. In a one-way slab with one end continuous, the minimum thickness is determined by considering the deflection criteria. According to the deflection criteria, the maximum deflection should not exceed L/240 for normal loads and L/360 for live loads. Since one end of the slab is continuous, it experiences more restraint compared to the simply supported end. Therefore, to limit the deflection, the minimum thickness should be L/24.

    Rate this question:

  • 30. 

    For one-way slab the min. thickness for simply supported will be

    • L/10

    • L/24

    • L/28

    • L/20

    Correct Answer
    A. L/20
    Explanation
    The correct answer is L/20. In a one-way slab that is simply supported, the minimum thickness is determined by the span of the slab. The span is represented by L in the question. According to design codes and standards, the minimum thickness of a one-way slab is typically taken as L/20. This ensures that the slab has sufficient strength and stiffness to support the applied loads without excessive deflection or cracking.

    Rate this question:

    • Uu si reynald manlilibre yan ng dinner, uu ngayun

    Correct Answer
    A. Both end continuous
    Explanation
    The minimum thickness for a one-way slab using L/28 is for both ends continuous. In a one-way slab, the load is carried in one direction and the slab is supported on two opposite sides. When both ends are continuous, it means that the slab is supported on all four sides, providing more support and reducing the need for additional thickness. Therefore, the minimum thickness can be achieved in this case.

    • L/16

    • Manlilibre si reynald ng hapunan after review

    Correct Answer
    A. L/16
    Explanation
    For beam or ribbed one-way slab, the minimum thickness of a simply supported slab is L/16. This means that the thickness of the slab should be equal to the span length divided by 16. This is because a thinner slab may not be able to resist the bending and shear forces effectively, leading to structural failure. By using a thickness of L/16, the slab can adequately support the loads and provide the required strength and stability.

    • L/18.5

    Correct Answer
    A. L/8
    Explanation
    The minimum thickness of the cantilever for a beam or ribbed one-way slab is L/8. This means that the thickness of the cantilever should be one-eighth of the length of the cantilever. This is a standard requirement to ensure the structural integrity and stability of the cantilevered portion of the slab.

    Rate this question:

  • 34. 

    For beam or ribbed one way slab, the min. thickness of one end continuous is 

    • L/21

    • L/8

    • L/18.5

    • L/16

    Correct Answer
    A. L/18.5
    Explanation
    For beam or ribbed one-way slabs, the minimum thickness of one end continuous is L/18.5. This means that the thickness of the slab should be equal to or greater than the span length divided by 18.5. This requirement ensures that the slab has enough strength and stiffness to support the imposed loads and prevent excessive deflection. A thinner slab may not be able to adequately distribute the load and could result in structural failure or excessive sagging. Therefore, L/18.5 is the appropriate minimum thickness for one end continuous beam or ribbed one-way slabs.

    • Matulog na lang tayo

    Correct Answer
    A. L/21
    Explanation
    The correct answer is L/21. In beam or ribbed one-way slabs, the minimum thickness of both end continuous is L/21. This means that the thickness of the slab should be equal to or greater than the span length divided by 21. This requirement ensures that the slab has enough strength and stiffness to support the loads and prevent excessive deflection.
