Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A project manager discovers an unexpectedly low compressive strength result from a core sample. Discuss potential steps to address this issue.

💡 Hint: Think about the safety implications and stakeholder communication.

Challenge 2 Hard

During a core sampling inspection, the carbonation layer extends deeper than expected, reducing the concrete's pH. What measures should engineers consider implementing?

💡 Hint: Consider how these measures affect long-term durability.
