- Which of the following statements regarding concrete is incorrect? (a) The matrix of concrete is cement, which hardens by hydration reactions of calcium silicates. (b) The modulus of concrete follows an inverse law of mixtures between the volume fracture of aggregate and the volume fraction of cement. (c) The compressive strength of concrete develops in two stages - an initial setting reaction, which occurs over a period of hours, and a hardening reaction, which may continue for many months. (d) The rate of the hardening reaction is controlled by the rate at which water evaporates from the concrete and so the hardening reaction is temperature dependent.
