1) Question.
Which one of the following types of concrete is most suitable in extreme cold climates?
Answer.Air-entrained concrete is suitable in extreme cold climates as air entrainment increases the resistance of the hardened concrete to freezing and thawing and normally at the same time improves the workability of fresh concrete.

12) Question.
To make one cubic meter of 1 : 2 : 4 by volume of concrete, the volume of coarse aggregates required is
Answer.1 m3 of wet concrete gives 1.52 dry volume of concrete.
Coarse aggregate proportion = 4/7
So, volume of coarse aggregate = (4/7) x 1.52 = 0.86 m3
