This document discusses civil engineering materials and provides two questions. The first question asks to determine the initial porosity of a binder paste when the water to binder ratio is 0.40 and the fly ash content is 30% of the total binder by weight, given the specific gravities of fly ash and cement. The second question asks an unspecified question related to the strength development of major chemical compounds in binder pastes.

Pilani Campus Strength development of major chemical compounds Question 1
Determine the initial porosity of binder paste when the
water to binder ratio is 0.40. The fly ash content is 30% of the total binder by weight. Specific gravity of fly ash and cement are 2.40 and 3.15, respectively. Question 2
