1. What is the characteristic of green concrete that gave it its name (Page 8.2, Section 2.0.0)? Answer Hardened concrete that has not reached structural strength (can be easily damaged)
2. What is cement dermatitis (Page 8.2, Section 2.1.0 Warning Box)? Answer Allergenic skin reaction to cement exposure?
3. What is pozzolan (Page 8.5, Section 3.0.0)? Answer Latin derivation, includes items such as fly ash, silica fume, or blast furnace slag
4. What advantage does roller-compacted concrete offer (Page 8.6, Section 4.0.0)? Answer Stiff mixture, concreting large areas, requires no form
5. What is hydration (Page 8.8, Section 5.0.0)? Answer Cement-water reaction whereby concrete gains its greatest strength if it does not loose moisture too quickly.
6. What can be used in cold weather to prevent concrete freezing during the curing process (Page 8.8, Section 5.0.0)? Answer Insulating blankets, fiberglass batts, or expanded plastic cell slabs
7. How much concrete would it take to fill a sidewalk portion that measured 80’ long 3’ wide and 4” thick (Page 8.10, Section 7.1.1)? Answer L X W X T (In parts of a foot) / 27 cu.ft. (per cu. Yard) 80’ X 3’ X .3’ 27’ cu.ft. per cu. yard 72 cu. ft. 27’ cu.ft. 2.667 cubic yards or to 2 and 2/3 cubic yards.
8. How much concrete would be needed to fill a columnar form that was 8’ high and 2’ in diameter (Page 8.12, Section 7.2.1)? Answer Π * R2 *H / 27 cu.ft. (per cubic yard) 3.14 * 1’2 *8’ 27 cu.ft. 25.12 cu.ft. 27 cu.ft. .9303 cu. yd. rounded up to 1 cubic yard.
9. What is positioned within concrete to increase its strength and resistance to cracking (Page 8.12, Section 8.1.0)? Answer Rebars or rerods
10. What is the purpose of the deformed surface on some reinforcement steel (Page 8.13, Section 8.1.0)? Answer Improves bond in concrete & prevents rod from moving
11. One of the materials used in concrete work is referred to as WWF which stands for______________ (Page 8.16, Section 8.4.0). Answer Welded-Wire Fabric
