261. What is the percentage of silica for 1st class bricks? [MES-16]
ব্যাখ্যা: Normally, bricks contain the following ingredients- (i) Silica (sand)-50% to 60% by weight
(ii) Alumina (clay) 20% to 30% by weight
(iii) Lime-2% to 5% by weight.
262. Cement-এর Consistency test-এ কোনটি ব্যবহৃত হয়?[MOLE-19, BB-20]
সিমেন্টের আদর্শ ঘনত্ব (Consistency) পরীক্ষা Vicat apparatus দ্বারা করা হয়। এই apparatus-এর vicat plunger যদি মোল্ডের নিচ থেকে 5mm হতে 7mm পর্যন্ত প্রবেশ করে, তাহলে একে আদর্শ ঘনত্ব বলে।
ব্যাখ্যা: Distempers are the cheaper variety of paints in which chalk is used as base and water is used as a carrier. So the base material for distemper is chalk.
264. Generally used fine aggregate in our country-
ব্যাখ্যা: Fine aggregate generally consist of natural sand or crushed stone with most particles
passing through a 3/8 inch sieve. But generally use fine aggregate in our country sand.
267. Generally....... is used in varnish. [BREB-17]
ব্যাখ্যা: Varnish is primarily used in wood finishing. The elements of varnish are resins, driers, solvent. Solvent means tung oil, phenolic, polyurethane or alkyd and solvents like naphtha, mineral spiritor thimer.
270. When first class brick is sunk 24 hours in water how much water will absorbed of its weight? [MES-16]
ব্যাখ্যা: A first class brick shall not absorb more than 8th of its dry weight when immersed in water for 24 hours.
The water absorption capacity for the first class bricks should be under 20%
ব্যাখ্যা: A powdered substance that is mixed with a
liquid in which it is relatively insoluble and
used especially to important color to coating
materials (such as paints) paint is depend on
pigment because pigment fixed different color.
So the chief ingredient of paintsis pigments.
272. Generally the compressive strength for good bricks is- [MES-16]
ব্যাখ্যা : Compressive strenght of bricks-
(i) Compressive strength of first class bricks is 105 kg/cm²
(ii) Compressive strength of 2nd class brick is 70 kg/cm
(iii) Compressive strength of common building brick is 35 kg/cm²
273. Vicat's apparatus is used to determine the [MES-16]
ব্যাখ্যা: Vicat's apparatus is used to determine consitency and initial/final set times of cements and mortar pastes. This unit can be modified for testing to determine false set.
275. The percentage of silica in a good brick clay should very from- [BREB-15; MES-16]
ব্যাখ্যা: Normally, bricks contain the following ingredients-
(i) Silica (sand) -50% to 60% by weight
(ii) Alumina (clay) -20% to 30% by weight
(iii) Lime-2% to 5% by weight.
ব্যাখ্যা: Considering dry loose bulk density of following concrete ingredients as-
Cement1440 kg/cum
Fine Aggregate= 1600 kg/cum
Coarse Aggregate = 1450 kg/cum
Water 1000 kg/cum
ব্যাখ্যা: Density of cement in loose conditions = 1440 kg/m²
Mass of one bag cement = 50 kg
Volume =Mass/ Density = 50/1440
= 0.0347 cum
= 0.0347x35.3147 = 1.225 cft
