Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the dimensions of a concrete cube 150 mm on each side, calculate its compressive strength if it bears a maximum load of 450 kN before failure.

💡 Hint: Remember to convert kN to N and mm² when needed.

Question 2

A structural beam has a span length of 700 mm, width of 150 mm, depth of 200 mm, and it fails at a load of 12 kN under center-point loading. Calculate its flexural strength.

💡 Hint: Make sure to focus on using consistent units throughout.
