1.	What are elastic strains?(a) These are the instantaneous deformations that occur when an external stress is first applied(b) These deformations occur either on loss of moisture from the concrete on cooling of concrete(c) It is the time-dependent deformation that occurs on the prolonged application of stress(d) Any one or combinations of the above types of deformations in a hardened concrete leads to crackingI have been asked this question at a job interview.This is a very interesting question from Elastic Properties of Aggregates in chapter Elasticity, Creep and Shrinkage of Concrete Technology
Answer» CORRECT answer is (a) These are the INSTANTANEOUS deformations that occur when an EXTERNAL stress is first applied The explanation: Elastic STRAIN in concrete, as defined above, depends on the externally applied stress and the MODULUS of elasticity of concrete.

What is autogenous shrinkage?(a) It is not a result of any change in the concrete production process. Rather, it is a result of certain environmental conditions which frequently occur in the Central Missouri area(b) It is defined as the contracting of a hardened concrete mixture due to the loss of capillary water. This shrinkage causes an increase in tensile(c) It is an important phenomenon in young concrete. At low w/c ratios, less than about 0.42, all the water is rapidly drawn into the hydration process and the demand for more water creates very fine capillaries(d) It occurs when the concrete is exposed to air containing carbon dioxideThis question was addressed to me in final exam.My enquiry is from Types of Shrinkage in chapter Elasticity, Creep and Shrinkage of Concrete Technology
