Expert Solution

Three Concrete admixtures of this century:

a) Corrosion inhibiting admixtures

Applications: RCC, PCC, high steel beams, doubly reinforced sections.

dosage : 5 litre/m3

advantages : provides resistance to steel against corrosion

increase durability

disadvantages: makes the concrete very low permeable and hence shrinkage cracks are often seen.

b) Polymer dispersion admixtures

applications: structures in chemical prone areas

structural elements at freezing point abd sudden temparature change.

dosage : 0.3 to 0.5 percent by weight of concrete

advantages : Makes concrete chemical resistant

makes the effect of temperature change fatigue very low.

Disadvantages: Lower flexural and tensile strength

c) viscosity modifying admixtures

applications : In alteration of setting time of concrete, concrete mixing techniques, precast concrete members

dosage : 0.08 to 0.3 percent by weight

advantages: It reduces the segregation of concrete

Gives advantage of controlling the setting time

disadvantages:

decreases the lifespan if concrete

Reduces the compressive strength

the macro economy might have been more self-correcting in the 19th century than in the 20th century
In the notes I argue that the macro economy might have been more self-correcting in the 19th century than in the 20th century. What do I think changed by 1930 that made the Great Depression world different from the world of Adam Smith? Why was this change important?

b) Civil engineers have developed a 3D model to predict the response of jointed concrete pavements to temperature variations. To check this model, they measured the change in traverse strain on six different occasions and compared this to the modelled values. The table below was obtained.
