Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the total maintenance cost for a concrete structure over 30 years, assuming it needs a crack filling every 5 years costing $200, and a surface coating every 10 years costing $500. What would be the total if these tasks are done throughout the 30 years?

💡 Hint: Identify how many times each task needs to be done over 30 years.

Question 2

Discuss how environmental factors such as moisture and temperature fluctuations can affect the maintenance needs of concrete versus timber over time. What would be the long-term implications for structural choices?

💡 Hint: Think about how different materials react to challenges in their environment.
