Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Assess a theoretical concrete mix with high permeability. Describe how this would influence carbonation depth over 10 years and suggest mitigative measures.
💡 Hint: Consider permeability's role and how to enhance durability.
Devise an experimental method to measure the rate of carbonation in two different concrete compositions. Discuss expected outcomes.
💡 Hint: Think about which factors will alter your experimental results.
