strength of concrete is…… 1

1
c. Increasing the slump decreases the strength: True / false
1

Answer Posted / Dhirendra Kuamr

a. The water-cement ratio for achieving maximum strength of concrete is approximately 0.45 to 0.55 by weight or volume.
b. Water/ cement is inversely proportional to workability, meaning that as the amount of water (or water/cement ratio) decreases, the concrete becomes more rigid and less workable. Conversely, as the amount of water increases, the concrete becomes more fluid and easier to work with but less strong.
c. Increasing the slump does not necessarily decrease the strength of concrete. However, it may lead to a reduction in the compactness and strength if the concrete is overworked or placed too quickly.

5. Two long boundary walls run parallel to each other at a center to center distance of 1 meter apart. The width and height of the first wall are 0.30 m and 2.5m respectively. While those of the second are respectively 0.18m and 3.5m. Plot the distribution of vertical stress intensity due to walls on a horizontal plane, 1m below ground level. The walls have negligible depth of foundation and are made of brick masonry (y = 19.2 kN/m cu)
