Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A concrete cylinder of 150 mm diameter and 300 mm length showed a failure load of 120 kN in a split tensile test. Calculate the tensile strength and analyze what that means for structural applications.

💡 Hint: Make sure to convert units properly and check what the strength implies.

Question 2

Discuss the implications of varying water-cement ratios on the outcomes of the split cylinder test results, considering a standard concrete mix.

💡 Hint: Think about how hydration processes impact overall concrete performance.
