It's about thin structure so rapid hardening is correct.

Deepak yadav said:   5 years ago
Lower the permeability due to lesser size of soil particle and lesser voids.

PIjush Mal said:   6 years ago
Correct answer is low heat cement.

Vivek mishra said:   6 years ago
It should be low heat cement because low heat cement has coarser particles which are not properly spread in thin RCC structure.

@ALL.

In question, word avoided is used, so given option is correct.

Amrut darii said:   7 years ago
For thick structure - low heat cement.

For thin structure - blast furnace slag cement.

Manish said:   7 years ago
The Low Heat cement is correct.

It is only used for Thick RCC (dams, bridge abutments).

Not used in Thin RCC.

Puspendu Roy Chowdhury said:   7 years ago
Rapid hardening cement will be the answer because it will react with steel bar which will corroded.

Sam said:   7 years ago
A is the right option I think.

Santosh kumar said:   7 years ago
C option is correct. Because blast furnace slag cement is used for dams, bridge, abutment and retaining wall.
