Failure modes are either |
|
|
in tension or in shear |
|
|
in compression or torsion |
| 6. |

|
|
Low price and availability |
| 7. |

Various factors influencing interlayer bond strength at the interface of the concrete repairs |
|
|
Various test methods to determine the bond strength |
|

| 8. |
The old way of thinking was to remove the concrete and replace it in case of damages such as cracks, surface discoloration or imperfections. |
|
|
True |
|
|
False |
| 9. |
Hairline cracks, cracks in sidewalks, holes in concrete walls or even small broken corners do not need large scale maintenance. In these cases simple tools and materials are employed as following:
- cleaning the area, using detergent in case the area is oily
- widening and enlargement the cracks by hammer or cold chisel (the crack must be wider at the bottom than at the top, this is called undercutting)
- Removing all loose material and brushing the area
- Moistening the area and waiting for evaporation of surface water
- using some resins or adhesive and then grouting a Portland cement mortar (all the patch must be filled once)
- smoothing and leveling the surface with trowel
- curing for some days

|
|
True |
|
|
False |
| 10. |
Which one of the following could be cause for concrete damage? |
|
|
Excess concrete water mix |
|
|
Faulty design or construction defects |
|
|
Alkali Silica Reactivity (ASR) |
|
|
Deterioration through carbonation |
|
|
Corrosion of reinforcing steel |
|
|
Deterioration caused by cycle freezing and thawing |
|
|
Abrasion-erosion damage |
|
|
Structural overload |
|
|
All of the above |
| 11. |
Shotcrete is a process where concrete is projected or "shot" under pressure using a feeder or "gun" onto a surface to form structural shapes including walls, floors, and roofs. |
|
|
True |
|
|
False |
| 12. |
The surface of shotcrete can be concrete, ______, polystyrene, or any other surface that concrete can be projected onto. |
|
|
Concert |
|
|
Rock |
|
|
Steel |
|
|
All of the above |
| 13. |
Which one the followings is considered basic type of shotcrete |
|
|
Dry-mix |
|
|
Wet-mix |
|
|
Both of the above |
| 14. |
Shotcrete has a wide range of usages; casting new structures, swimming pools, sculpting waterscapes, lining tunnels and ditches, paving slopes and complex shapes such as skateboard parks and earth retaining structures, strengthening and repairing existing structures of all types, providing fireproofing and chemical protection to steel, and construction of tanks, basement walls (underground parking facilities) and any other place that cannot be formed and poured.

|
|
True |

| 16. |
After repairing the concrete structure and replacing a new layer, there should be enough strength in both layers since the damaged part of substrate has been already removed and the new layer has been designed and placed according to the requirements of the work. Despite having adequate strength in both layers, the interface is still vulnerable to damages and could be the most sensitive part of the system. |
|
|
True |
|
|
False |
| 17. |
Two layers have different modulus of elasticity, so exposed to the same load each shows different strains. The interface should be |
|
|
able to bear this difference |
|
|
Stronger material |
| 18. |
The bond strength is the adhesion between overlay and substrate which can be ________of the system. Good bond strength is a key factor to have a monolithic system |
|
|
The weakest link |
|
|
The strongest link |
| 19. |
Bond can be expressed by |
|
|
shear resistance or |
|
|
tensile resistance |
|
|
Both of the above |
