Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A concrete mix design is planned using aggregates classified as Zone III. Discuss the expected properties and challenges of using these aggregates compared to those from Zone I.

💡 Hint: Consider how the void content and aggregate size affect the concrete's water requirement.

Question 2

Calculate the grading of an aggregate blend using 60% fine aggregates (Zone II) and 40% coarse aggregates (Zone I). Discuss how this blend may perform in terms of workability and strength.

💡 Hint: Focus on how the proportion of sizes impacts concrete performance.
