Building Materials and Construction, Objective Type Question Part-II


The process of mixing clay, water & other ingredients to make brick is known as: Kneading

Advantage of a clamp compared to a kiln for burning bricks is: It has less initial cost

The internal size of mould used in brick preparation is: Greater than size of fully burnt brick

Pug mill is used for: Preparation Of Clay

Bricks used for lining of furnaces:  Refractory Bricks

The frog of brick in a brick masonry is generally kept on: Top Face

Number of bricks required for one cubic meter of brick masonry is: 500

Glazing is used to make earthenware: Impervious

Quick lime is: Calcium Oxide

Quick lime is: Slow in setting & Rapid in slacking

Hydraulic lime is obtained by: Burning of kankar

The main constituent which imparts hydraulicity to hydraulic lime is: Clay

The main ingredients of Portland Cement are: Lime & Silica

The constituent of cement which is responsible for initial setting of cement is: Tricalcium Aluminate

The initial setting time for ordinary Portland cement as per IS specifications should not be less than: 30 minutes

The final setting time for ordinary Portland cement as per IS specifications should not be less than: 10 hours

For testing compressive strength of cement, the size of cube used is: 50mm

The normal consistency of ordinary Portland cement is about: 30%

Early attainment of strength in rapid hardening cement is mainly due to: Finer Grinding

After Storage, the strength of cement: Decreases

According to IS specifications, the compressive strength of ordinary Portland cement after three days should not be less than: 16 MPa

Addition of pozzolana to ordinary Portland cement increases: Shrinkage

Gypsum consists of: CaSO4 & H2O

For testing compressive and tensile strength of cement, the cement mortar is made  by mixing cement and standard sand in the proportions of: 1:3

The slump recommended for mass concrete is about: 25 mm to 50 mm

With increase in moisture content, the bulking of sand: first increases to a certain maximum value and then decreases

Which cement is suitable for use in massive concrete structures such as large dams: Low Heat Cement

Proper amount of entrained air in concrete results in: Better Workability & Better resistance to freezing & thawing

The most common admixture which is used to accelerate the initial set of cement is: Calcium Chloride

The maximum quantity of calcium chloride used as an accelerator in cement in percentage by weight of cement is: 2

The basic purpose of a retarder in concrete is: To increase the initial setting time of cement paste in concrete

Cement which contains maximum percentage of dicalcium silicate: Low Heat Cement

Most commonly used retarder in cement is: Gypsum

Three basic raw materials which are needed in large quantities for production of steel are: iron ore, coal & lime stone

Compared to mild steel, cast iron has: High Compressive Strength & Low tensile Strength

Which gradient exerts maximum influence on properties of steel: Carbon
