Q:

Which can be the possible option for cracking in the building?

A) Due to light load B) Low w/c ratio
C) Temperature difference D) Gain of water
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Temperature difference

Q:

How can we prevent cracks in concrete structures?

A) Due to heavy load B) Low w/c ratio
C) Settlement of structure D) High water cement ratio
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Low w/c ratio

Explanation: Low w/c ratio will directly affect the quality of concrete. A lower water cement ratio leads to high strength in concrete therefore lesser cracks.
