Question 1

What is the tensile strength (ft) of concrete?

  • The maximum compressive force
  • The maximum tensile force
  • The yield point

💡 Hint: Focus on tensile, not compressive issues.

Question 2

True or False: The stress-strain curve in tension shows ductile behavior in concrete.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how concrete behaves when it's pulled.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a simple beam using concrete that must support a tensile load. Analyze how the stress-strain curve influences your material selection.

💡 Hint: Consider reinforcing steel or using composite materials.

Question 2

Evaluate a scenario where a concrete bridge begins to crack due to excessive tensile stress. Discuss the potential actions an engineer can take.

💡 Hint: Look into load management solutions and reinforcement techniques.
