Question 1

What is the main objective of the compressive strength test?

  • To measure bending strength
  • To determine tensile capacity
  • To determine the maximum compressive load before failure

💡 Hint: Focus on what happens last in this test.

Question 2

True or False: The bond strength test only measures the adhesion between the steel and concrete.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: What happens when you pull steel from concrete?

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a concrete specimen that can withstand a maximum load of 80 kN and has a cross-sectional area of 0.02 m². Calculate the compressive strength in MPa.

💡 Hint: Convert your units correctly before performing the calculation!

Question 2

A concrete beam of size 150 mm x 150 mm x 700 mm fails under a load of 12 kN when tested for flexural strength using a third-point loading mode. Compute the modulus of rupture.

💡 Hint: Check which dimensions correspond to the beam size when using the formula.
