Advanced Concrete Technology Exam

This document appears to be an exam for a Master's degree in structural engineering and construction management. It covers topics related to advanced concrete technology. The exam is divided into two parts. Part A consists of 4 short answer questions worth 5 marks each, covering topics like: 1) the importance of Bogue's compound in Portland cement, 2) factors affecting the strength and elasticity of concrete, 3) advantages of self-consolidating concrete over normal concrete, and 4) circumstances required for alkali-silica reaction to occur. Part B consists of 4 longer answer questions worth 10 marks each, allowing choices between questions. Topics include: laboratory tests on cement, quick setting and rapid hardening ce
