Workability refers to the ease of which the soil can be physically controlled for the purpose of cultivation. For example, if tilling or digging the soil produces cloddy or plate like clumps, the workability is low. From what I already know, clay soils aren't the best in terms of workability because it clumps together and is difficult to break up, whilst sandy soils usually have a much better workability but tend to be poor for cultivation because of other reasons.

What is the effect of grading of aggregate on workability?

Grading of Aggregates enhances workability of concrete.


How the changing of workability when the concrete mixture containing high aggregate content?

Aggregate to cement ratio is an important thing which affects the workability....! If the aggregate/cement ratio is higher , the concrete will be Leaner. Less quantity of paste is available for lubrication, Hence workability decreases..!! On the other hand if the aggregate/cement ratio is lower, the concrete will be fatty. Higher quantity of paste is available for lubrication. Hence workability increases. ! Thus Higher aggregate content leads to lowering of workability....!


What is bycol?

Bycol Clear is an air-entraining admixture used to improve the workability of brickwork mortars and concrete mixes.


What is the significance of grading aggregate?

The grading of aggregate influences the mix proportions for a specified workability and water-cement ratio. Coarser the grading leaner will be mix which can be used. Very lean mix is not desirable since it does not contain enough finer material to make the concrete cohesive. The type of aggregate influences strongly the aggregate-cement ratio for the desired workability and stipulated water cement ratio. An important feature of a satisfactory aggregate is the uniformity of the grading which can be achieved by mixing different size fractions.


What materials are used to make concrete?

Cement, sand, gravel and water are the most commonly used minimum ingredients to make concrete. However various types of admixtures can be added while making concrete to enhance its properties such as workability, setting time, strength, permiability, durability, chemical resistance, etc.

Can you get a laptop for 23.00?

For sure you can get a laptop for any price - it's condition and workability at that price will be highly suspect.
