State whether the following is true or false.
The strength measured on standard mortar cubes is the strength the concrete will achieve.

  • A.False only at small scales
  • B.True
  • C.False
  • D.True only at large scales

Answer: C

The mortar test uses a standard sand and a fixed water content, which no real concrete matches. It classifies the cement for comparison rather than predicting what a particular mix will give. Mix design uses the class as an input rather than as an answer.
