Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Considering that a concrete cylinder has a diameter of 150 mm and a length of 300 mm, calculate the tensile strength if the load at failure is 50 kN.
💡 Hint: Make sure to convert units where necessary.
A beam with dimensions 150 mm x 150 mm x 700 mm failed under a load of 30 kN. Calculate the flexural strength using third-point loading.
💡 Hint: Remember to use the right dimensions for width and height.
