Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider an aggregate sample where 50% is larger than 20mm. Analyze the grading and suggest which smaller aggregates should be added to improve workability.
💡 Hint: Look for the size range that complements the existing sample.
You have two aggregates: A has a fineness modulus of 2.5 and B has a fineness modulus of 4.2. If you need a fineness modulus of 3.5, describe the steps to achieve this.
💡 Hint: Set up ratios and solve for proportions required.
