Which of the following is not a Sheet Glass?
- A.
Insulating Glass
- B.
Window Glass
- C.
Heavy Sheet Glass
- D.
Picture Glass
Correct Answer
A. Insulating GlassExplanation
Insulating Glass is not a type of Sheet Glass. Sheet Glass refers to a single, flat piece of glass that is made by pouring molten glass onto a flat surface and then allowing it to cool and solidify. Insulating Glass, on the other hand, is made by sandwiching two or more panes of glass with a sealed air or gas-filled space in between, which provides better insulation and energy efficiency. Therefore, Insulating Glass does not fall under the category of Sheet Glass.Rate this question:

An admixture is used to speed up the initial set of concrete. Such a material may be added to the mix to increase the rate of early strength development for several reasons.
- A.
Water Reducing Admixtures
- B.
Retarders
- C.
Damproofers
- D.
Accelerators
Correct Answer
D. AcceleratorsExplanation
Accelerators are admixtures that are added to concrete to speed up the initial setting time. They increase the rate of early strength development, allowing the concrete to gain strength quickly. This can be beneficial in situations where fast construction is required or when the concrete needs to be used in cold weather conditions where the setting time may be prolonged. Accelerators work by increasing the rate of hydration, which is the chemical reaction that causes the concrete to harden. By speeding up this process, accelerators help to achieve the desired strength in a shorter period of time.Rate this question:
