happening due to shrinkages.
a. Contraction joints c. Expansion joints
b. Construction joints d. Dummy joints
5. Is a hardened material obtained by mechanically
compacting a mixture of finely crushed soil, water, and a
quantity of Portland cement that will make the mixture
meet certain durability requirements.
a. Cement-stabilized soil c. Plastic soil cement
b. Cement-modified soil d. Soil cement

6. Is a semi hardened or unhardened mixture of water,
