Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a concrete beam subject to a known load, use the total strain equation to determine the expected total strain after one year. Assume values for each strain type.

💡 Hint: What baseline values can you consider for elastic strain and creep?

Question 2

Discuss how differing environmental conditions may affect creep in a precast versus cast-in-situ structure. Provide examples.

💡 Hint: Think about the differences in exposure these structures face.
