Cast iron
Wrought iron
Mild steel
High carbon steel
305. If water cement ratio decrease, compressive strength of concrete will-. [MOD-20]
ব্যাখ্যা: The water-cement ratio is the ratio of the weight of water to the weight of cement used in a concrete mix. A lower ratio leads to higher strength and durability, but may make the mix difficult to work with and form. Workability can be resolved with the use of plasticizers.

311. Seasoning of timber-. [MOD-20]
ব্যাখ্যা: The process by which removal of excess moisture content from the timber at a suitable level in conjunction with improving strength is known as seasoning of timber.
increase the weight of timber
improves strength properties of timber
does not give dimensional stability
all of these
312. A good quality of stone absorbs water less than------[BPSC-22]
ব্যাখ্যা: A good building stone should be less porous. It should not absorb more than 5% of water. Any stone absorbing 10% of water should be rejected.
5%
10%
15%

313. Efflorescence is caused if-. [MOD-20]
ব্যাখ্যা: Three factors must be present wherever efflorescence appears:
A soluble salt: A variety of salts and salt-forming chemicals can be present in masonry.
Water: Moisture is the vehicle that carries the salt 10
