Question

Consider the following statements regarding Cyclopean concrete:
1. Size of aggregate is more than $150mm.$
2. Size of aggregate is less than $150mm$
3. High slump
4. High temperature rise due to heat of hydration.
Which of the above statements are correct?

• A. 1 and 3 only
• B. 1 and 4 only
• C. 2 and 3 only
• D. 2 and 4 only

Answer 1

The correct option is B 1 and 4 only

Cyclopean concrete is form of massed concrete in which stones are placed as the concrete is poured. These are called plum, or pudding stones and are $100$ pounds $\left(45kg\right)$ or more weight
In cyclopean concrete size of aggregate is more than $6$ inches $\left(15cm\right)$ and slump is very low because cyclopean concrete is stiff in nature.
