cement over them.
Q10 Analyze the role of various factors affecting the strength of hardened concrete? CO2, L4 4
What do you understand by “Bogue’s Compounds”? How do they influence both the “Rate

of Hydration” and “Heat of Hydration”.

A building is under construction in sugar mill with M35 Concrete and Fe500D Steel. While
batching the concrete for a roof slab at site by mixer, the sand being used is moist, mixed
Q12 CO3, L3 4
with residue of plant having concentration of sucrose. How would this affect the hardening
and de-shuttering times of the roof slab concrete?

Differentiate between the practices and precautions for concreting in extreme weather
Q13 CO2, L2 4
conditions (hot and cold), as recommended by IS Codes.
Assuming that concrete is made from correct ingredients and in the correct proportion, what
Q14 CO3, L3 12
are the other requirements which must be met to ensure a durable structure?

For a project in Ludhiana, the shuttering of slab was done at 4 pm (22/12/21), but owing to
sudden rain of 3 hours, checks for pouring of concrete were completed at 8:30 pm.
Concrete (M30) was purchased from local RMC, located at 8 km from the site and transit
Q15 mixer had arrived at 6:30 pm. The concrete work started at 8:45 pm and completed at 12:30 CO3, L3 12
am. Six cubes were also filled as per quality mandate to check the compressive strength at 7
and 28 days, which reported lower strength than desired. Discuss the possible reasons for
poor strength of concrete.
