Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a concrete sample with a cross-sectional area of 2000 mm² that failed at a load of 400 kN during a compressive strength test, determine the compressive strength.

💡 Hint: Convert kN to N carefully.

Question 2

A flexural strength test is conducted on a beam measuring 150 mm x 150 mm x 700 mm, failing at 3000 N. Calculate the flexural strength using third-point loading.

💡 Hint: Ensure you know the span and placement of your loads.
