4. The types of gages generally used for measuring strains are ________________________. These types can be further divided into short- and long-term gages, depending on the duration of measurements.
       
   

Surface gages

   

Internal or embedded gages

   

Both the gages

       
5. Figure 3-4 represents a ________________
       
   

Vee-Notch Weir

   

Critical Depth Meter

       
6. A hydrostatic pressure cell is not used for measuring pore water pressure in concrete.
       
   

True

   

False

       
7. The ___________________ works on the principle of line of-sight readings rather than the reading of the movement of a wire that is under the influence of gravity.
       
   

Inverted plumb line

   

Optical plummet

       
8. Digi-tilt inclinometer and Slope Indicator are the tilt measuring instruments.
       
   

True

   

False

       
9. The third type of relative displacement indicator as shown in Figure 5-2 and Plate 5-3, will measure relative movement in three orthogonal directions across a crack or joint. What is it?
