Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given the sorptivity values of different concrete mixes: Mix A: 4 mm/min, Mix B: 2 mm/min, and Mix C: 0.3 mm/min. Evaluate which mix could be most suitable for a water treatment facility.
💡 Hint: Consider the implications of each value.
A concrete blend characterized by high porosity is tested and shows a sorptivity of 5 mm/min. Discuss potential modifications to the mix design to improve its performance.
💡 Hint: Think about factors that can be adjusted in the mix.
