2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define the water-binder ratio.
Think of how water interacts with the binder.
List two characteristics of HPC.
Think about what makes HPC different from normal concrete.
What is the typical range for the water-binder ratio in HPC?
Think of the range provided in the section.
True or False: Silica fume is considered a supplementary cementitious material.
Think about materials that enhance binder performance.
A concrete structure is required to withstand severe marine exposure. Draft a potential mix design outlining binder content, SCMs, and w/b ratio justifying each choice based on durability needs.
Refer to marine exposure considerations and typical ratios.
Discuss the impact of varying the aggregate size from coarse to fine on the overall properties of HPC. Create a scenario where this would either benefit or harm the performance.
Consider specific examples of when changing aggregate size may be beneficial or detrimental.
