Q1. What is water cement ratio
Ans. 
Water cement ratio is the ratio of the weight of water to the weight of cement used in a concrete mix.
• Water cement ratio is a crucial factor in determining the strength and durability of concrete.

• A lower water cement ratio results in stronger and more durable concrete.

• The ideal water cement ratio varies depending on the type of concrete mix and its intended use.

• For example, a typical water cement ratio for general purp

Q1. What is concrete Temperature
Ans. 
Concrete temperature refers to the temperature of freshly mixed concrete.
• Concrete temperature affects the setting time and strength development of concrete.

• It is important to control the temperature of concrete during mixing, transportation, and placement.

• High temperatures can accelerate the setting time and reduce workability, while low temperatures can slow down setting and strength gain.

• Concrete temperature is typic...read more

Q3. Cube test results in 7 days & 28 days
Ans. 
Cube test results are used to determine the compressive strength of concrete at 7 and 28 days.
• Cube test involves casting cubes of concrete and testing them under compression

• Results are reported in terms of compressive strength in MPa or psi

• 7-day results are used to determine early strength and 28-day results are used to determine ultimate strength

• Concrete with a compressive strength of at least 20 MPa is considered sui

Q2. Gear and type four stock and two stock
Ans. The main difference between a 4-stroke engine and a 2-stroke engine is that a 4-stroke engine goes through four stages, or two complete revolutions, to complete one power stroke, while a 2-stroke engine goes through 2 stages, or one complete revolution, to complete one power stroke.

Q6. Heat transfer and types
Ans. 
Heat transfer is the movement of heat from one object to another due to a temperature difference.
• There are three main types of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation.

• Conduction is the transfer of heat through a material without any movement of the material itself.

• An example of conduction is when a metal spoon in a hot cup of tea becomes hot.

• Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids...read more
