Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are tasked with preparing a concrete mix. The aggregate moisture content is found to be 12%. If your target water-cement ratio is 0.50, how should you adjust the water content based on aggregate moisture to ensure correct batching?

💡 Hint: Consider the total water needed based on your initial calculations.

Question 2

Discuss the long-term impacts of repeatedly using cohesive aggregates in concrete batching. What are the potential structural consequences?

💡 Hint: Think of how uneven mixtures affect the final concrete structure.
