  1. Match List-I with List-II and select the correct answer using the codes given below the
    lists:
    List-I List-II
    (Oxide of cement)(Function)
    A. CaO 1. deficiency, causes slow setting
    B. SiO 2 2. deficiency, reduces setting time
    C. Al 2 O 3 3. excess, causes cracks
    4. excess, lowers the strenghth
    Codes:
    (a) A B C (b) A B C
    21 4 1 24
    (c) A B C (d) A B C

  3. Consider the following statements:
    When cement is tested for setting time; on gauging its shows quick setting. This
    phenomenon known as “Flash set” of cement is due to the presence of high

    1. tricalcium Aluminate (C 3 A) in cement

    2. alkalis in cement

    3. tricalcium silicate (C 3 S) in cement
      Which of these statements are correct?
      (a) 1, 2 and 3 (b) 2 and 3 (c) l and 2 (d) l and 3



  4. Pick out the incorrect statement.
    (a) For hydraulic structures, a cement with small percentage of C 3 S and more C 2 S is
    recommended.
    (b) Setting and hardening of cement stop as soon as the concrete becomes dry.
    (c) The product C-S-H gel is known as tobermorite gel.
    (d) The stiffening of cement without strength development is caused because of C 4 AF

  5. The rate of heat evolution of the following four compounds in decending order is
