migrate through building materials that are not adequately protected. True or
False

rising concrete from the bottom displaces the water washing out the cement
content. True or False

preplaced aggregate methods are notnused.True or False
36. The concrete should not be consolidated into the forms and around reinforcing
bars to eliminate trapped air and voids. True or False
37. __________A material other than water, aggregate, cement, used as an
ingredient of concrete or mortar added to the batch immediately before or during
mixing.

grinding with the clinker it is rapid hardening cement with initial and final setting
time of about 8.5 and 10hours respectively True or False
39. The main advantage of this technique over other methods is that concrete can
have as little as 1/3 the slump of concrete consolidated by hand. True or False
40. a vibrator applies periodic compressive forces to the concrete which causes the
material to flow. True or False
