How do water-cement ratio and workability affect the strength of concrete? What are the factors promoting shrinkage?
w/c ratio is directly proportional to workability and inversely proportional to strength.
If w/c ratio is increased workability increased, which increase the ease and homogeneity with which it can be handled and mixed.
But as w/c ratio is increased the strength of concrete becomes poor.
Because proper proportion of water if not maintained in concrete mix, excess water accumulates in the mix and reduces the strength.
Factors affecting shrinkage:-
What is an air entraining agents? Give some examples. What is efflorescence in concrete structure?
What is surface irrigation? Discuss the types and applications.
What is Watershed in Irrigation Engineering?
What is chain surveying?
What is Sprinkler irrigation?
How do climatic factors influence the water requirements of crops?
What are the key components of a drip irrigation system?
Describe Lacey’s theory of uniform flow and its significance.
What is Base and Crop Period?
