Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a standard cube specimen with a maximum load of 350 kN and a cross-sectional area of 22500 mm², calculate the compressive strength.
💡 Hint: Remember the formula f_c = P/A.
A bond strength test shows a maximum pull-out load of 10 kN for a steel bar with a diameter of 12 mm and an embedment length of 100 mm. Calculate the average bond stress.
💡 Hint: Use the bond strength formula.
