I. Write T if the statement is True and F if it is false.

(5 pts each)

__T_ 1. When creating mortar or concrete, aggregates—natural or synthetic inorganic granular materials—are mixed
with a binder.
__F_ 2. Fine aggregate flowing through a sieve with holes of 4 mm (4.75 mm in ASTM standards).
__T_ 3. Material with coarse aggregate retained on a filter with holes of 4mm (4.75 mm in ASTM standards).
__T_ 4. The ratio of an aggregate's mass to the mass of water in an equal volume is the relative density (specific
gravity) of the substance.
__T_ 5. The cement paste in concrete coats the surfaces of the aggregate particles, fills the spaces between them,
and fuses the particles together.
__T_ 6. The capacity of a hardened cement paste to maintain its volume after setting without experiencing delayed
destructive expansion is referred to as soundness.
_T__ 7. The primary importance of cement soundness testing is to make sure that the cement does not exhibit any
discernible subsequent expansion.
__T_ 8. The main causes of cement's unsoundness are too much lime, too much magnesium, or too much sulfate.
__T_ 9. Cement's effect on soundness does not manifest itself until after a long amount of time.
__T_ 10. Signs of unsoundness are Distortion, Cracking, and Disintegration.
