Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a concrete cube is designed for a compressive strength of 25 MPa and fails under a load of 500 kN, how should adjustments to the mix be considered?

💡 Hint: Consider how adjusting moisture levels may influence strength.

Question 2

Given that the average strength of three concrete specimens is 30 MPa, discuss whether the batch meets quality standards when the minimum requirement is 28 MPa.

💡 Hint: Think about the importance of individual test results versus average values.
