Explain why an increase in water-to-cement ratio for a
fixed amount of cement results in lower concrete
strength.

Discuss the cement hydration process and its importance in developing the strength of concrete. Explain how it works according to the stages (dormant,setting,hardening stages). Discuss the setting time, its importance in concreting, and a practical solution to delay the initial setting time. Explain how the cement fineness, water-to-cement ratio, and curing temperature can promote or hinder the hydration.

Task1:
Highway alignment is the center line of the highway or the road on
the ground. The road alignment is very important because when they
not prepare it carefully it will cause high building cost, high
maintenance cost and also, an increase in accident. There are
requirement of high alignment like safe, easy, short and
economical. And there are also factors that should be considered
when choosing road alignment. These factors differ and depend on
the type of road and the areas through which these roads pass. In
this part we will concentrate on or obligatory points which is
defined the highway alignment. It is separated into two parts,
negative and positve obligatory points.
positve obligatory points:
these are those points through which the alignment should
pass.
Existing road: the alignment should be fixed such the newly
construction road should link to the existing road.
Intermediate town: if it is possible to have a straight road
between point A&B and the intermediate town located at c, then
the street need to link the intermediate town reducing the change
in highway alignment.
Bridge site/Existing Bridge:
This is not adivicable to cross the river in a curve position, we
have to change the alignment in such a way that it crosses the
river in straight line, it should locate in right angle(90o) to the
river flow and not locate in curve position. There are some reasons
for this, the curve position they keep changing, when you make the
right angle the length of the barge it will be short. So, the cost
of this construction it will be less.
Negative obligatory points:
When I went to the site and I saw lake or water body , I have to
change this aligment to avoided the lake area. From the stragth
line to curve line because of the water body. So, this water body
is a Negative obligatory
