Question 1

What is the general shape of the stress-strain curve in compression?

  • Linear throughout
  • Linear then non-linear
  • Constant

💡 Hint: Think about how materials typically respond to loads.

Question 2

True or False: The ultimate compressive strength is the only factor we consider for concrete performance.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Examine if there are other variables involved.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a concrete column with a known Modulus of Elasticity, calculate the expected stress at a strain of 0.0025. The ultimate compressive strength is 30 MPa.

💡 Hint: You will need to use concrete's characteristics to plug values into the modulus equation.

Question 2

Analyze the potential failure mechanism in a structure designed with lower than necessary ultimate compressive strength. What consequences might arise?

💡 Hint: Consider the implications of inadequate material strength on structural safety.
