  1. A concrete cylinder of size 15 mm diameter and 300 mm long is tested for split tensile
    strength of concrete. It failed at a load of 100 kN. The split tensile strength in N/mm^2 is
    (a) 0.35 (b) 0.71
    (c) 1.42 (d) 2.83

  2. The maximum mixing time, of cement concrete, in minutes is limited to
    (a) 2 (b) 4
    (c) 6 (d) 10

  3. The maturity of concrete is expressed as
    Maturity = ƒ (time × temperature)
    The temperature reckoned as origin is
    (a) 0°C (b) –5°C
    (c) –11°C (d) –16°C

  4. A cube of concrete as compared to cylinder of concrete is expected to have compressive
    strength
    (a) less by 5% (b) less by 15 %
    (c) more by 5% (d) more by 15%
