Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

During a hot summer day, concrete mix is prepared with a high water-cement ratio. Analyze the potential effects this may have on both workability and final strength.

💡 Hint: Consider the implications of water in the mix.

Question 2

In a project using angular aggregates, engineers report poor workability in concrete placement. Suggest strategies to improve the situation.

💡 Hint: Focus on altering the physical properties of the aggregates.
