The process of removing concrete forms from the cured concrete?
- A.
Clearing
- B.
Deforming works
- C.
Stripping
- D.
None of these
- E.
Cleaning
Correct Answer
C. StrippingExplanation
Stripping refers to the process of removing concrete forms from the cured concrete. This involves carefully taking off the molds or forms that were used to shape and support the concrete during the curing process. Stripping is an important step in construction as it allows the concrete to be exposed and further worked on if needed. Clearing, deforming works, and cleaning are not relevant to this process.Rate this question:

The ultimate strength of the material divided by allowable working load?
- A.
Strength limit
- B.
Maximum strength
- C.
Safety factor
- D.
Deflection
- E.
Proportional limit
Correct Answer
C. Safety factorExplanation
The safety factor is the ratio of the ultimate strength of a material to the allowable working load. It is used to ensure that the material can handle unexpected or excessive loads without failure. By dividing the ultimate strength by the allowable working load, the safety factor determines how much extra strength the material has beyond what is required for normal operating conditions. A higher safety factor indicates a greater margin of safety and a lower risk of failure. Therefore, the safety factor is the correct answer in this context.Rate this question:

D. Overhanging beamExplanation
An overhanging beam is a type of beam that extends beyond one or both of its supports. This means that the beam has one or more portions that hang over the edge of its support. This design allows for greater flexibility in terms of load distribution and structural stability. By extending the beam beyond its supports, it can provide additional support and balance to the structure it is part of. This makes it a suitable choice for situations where there is a need for extra support or where the load distribution needs to be adjusted.Rate this question:
