Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a construction site where aggregates are kept on a muddy surface without any partitions. Outline the potential implications for concrete quality and suggest a change in practice.

💡 Hint: Think about how contamination could specifically affect the strength and durability of concrete mixes.

Question 2

Imagine a scenario where aggregates are being continuously mixed with wet materials during transport. What are the consequences, and what measures should be implemented to address this?

💡 Hint: Reflect on how changes in moisture can skew the water-cement ratio.
