Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a batch of concrete cube tests with an average compressive strength of 30 MPa and an individual test result of 3 MPa, analyze the implications of these results on project quality control.

💡 Hint: Consider how individual tests contribute to acceptance.

Question 2

A project specifies that concrete must exhibit a compressive strength of 25 MPa. After testing, you observe an average of 22 MPa with individual tests showing one at 20 MPa. What decisions should be taken?

💡 Hint: Ensure compliance with all criteria discussed.
