1.	The term _________ is used to describe the ease or difficulty with which concrete is handed, transported and placed between the forms with minimum lost of homogeneity.(a) Water-cement ratio(b) Homogeneous mixture(c) Setting time(d) WorkabilityThe question was posed to me in an interview for internship.My doubt stems from Cement Concrete Construction in division Cement Concrete Construction of Construction & Building Materials
Answer» Right option is (d) WORKABILITY To explain: The workability, as a physical property of CONCRETE alone irrespective of a PARTICULAR type of construction, can be defined as the amount of USEFUL internal work necessary to produce full COMPACTION. For instance, the workability suitable for mass concrete is not necessarily sufficient for thin, inaccessible or heavy reinforced sections.
