Considering the work to put that together, that works for me.

Okay guys,

I already posted my answer, and to you that also posted, let’s help someone else get a case of books through a lively discussion.

Starting with Question1.

Everything I can find says that increasing the aggregate size has a minimal benefit to the structure. That being said, it does have a benefit, no matter how minimal.

Anybody else?

And here’s something that might be beneficial:

There are 3 type of concrete slumps when conducting slump tests, which of these terms is not used.

Since the question should be “is/are” not used there is no correct answer.

And for s&g

The slump test question is defendable.

So is the pumping question.

So your saying the questions are wrong?

34

This one doesn’t go deep enough into pump problems. You can find it if you dig deeper into the Internet but you will spend time reading if you don’t know for sure what your looking for but it’s there. :wink:

35

Im saying the slump question is mis-worded.

36

I make mistakes.

37

What is mis-worded in the question, may I ask?
