Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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.
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.
