II. IDENTIFICATION. Identify the term being described by each number. Wrong spelling is wrong.

1. The property of concrete that allows the passage of fluids through its pores and voids.

2. It is the famous term used for the first patented type of cement that was said to resemble the
stones quarried in Portland off the British Coast.

3. It is acknowledged as the earliest type of binder used by humans.

4. Grain materials of varying sizes that occupy the largest percentage of concrete volume.

5. It is produced when naturally-occurring limestones are heated.

6. It is a chemical reaction in which the major compounds in cement form chemical bonds with water
molecules and become hydrates or hydration products.

7. It is defined as a material that is mixed with a mixture to alter the property of a fresh or hardened
concrete to suit different circumstances.

8. An abundant material found on Earth which chemically reacts with cement to form a cement paste
and is also considered as a major component of concrete.

9. It is a material added to concrete mixtures that increases its workability without using excessive
amount of water.

10. It is the ease with which freshly prepared concrete can be transported and placed for the job and
compacted to a dense mass.

III. TRUE OR FALSE. Write true if the said statement is true and false if otherwise.

1. The first patented cement was invented by a bricklayer named Albert Atterberg.

2. Cementing materials were used in the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

3. Increase in water in the concrete mixture signifies increase in its strength.

4. Fresh concrete has a high tensile strength.

5. Concrete is reinforced with steel to increase its compressive strength.

6. Accelerators are materials mixed with concrete mixtures to increase its workability.

7. Gypsum is a material mainly used for plastering.

8. Cement reaches its maximum strength at approximately 28 days.

9. Pure concrete may also be susceptible to rusting.

 10. Shrinkage is often caused by evaporation of cement paste which causes lost in its volume.
