Question 1

What is the main purpose of the compressive strength test?

  • To determine maximum tensile strength
  • To measure the maximum load before failure
  • To assess bonding strength

💡 Hint: Consider what happens when you push down on concrete.

Question 2

True or False: Compressive strength is irrelevant to the performance of concrete structures.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how buildings need to support weight.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A construction project requires a concrete compressive strength of 25 MPa. After conducting tests, you find the average strength is only 20 MPa. Discuss potential steps you would take to rectify the situation.

💡 Hint: Think about what factors can impact concrete strength.

Question 2

Analyze how temperature variations during curing affect the compressive strength of concrete. Propose a strategy to mitigate any negative effects.

💡 Hint: Reflect on how environmental conditions impact all materials.
