Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A constructor wants to assess the compressive strength of a concrete cylinder. If the maximum load recorded is 200 kN and the diameter of the specimen is 150 mm, calculate the compressive strength. Provide your work.

💡 Hint: Remember to calculate the cross-sectional area using the diameter.

Question 2

During a flexural test, a beam fails under a load of 45 kN. The beam had a width of 200 mm and a depth of 300 mm with a span of 1200 mm in third-point loading configuration. Calculate the flexural strength.

💡 Hint: Use the formula for flexural strength and adjust for the loading configuration.
