Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You are assessing a building with uneven settling. Explain how you would utilize core cutting and NDT methods to evaluate the structure and ensure safety.

💡 Hint: Think about the order of operations based on the reliability of results.

Challenge 2 Hard

A core sample reveals a strength of 18 MPa, but the specification is 25 MPa. What steps do you recommend for the building's structural integrity?

💡 Hint: What actions can you take based on the severity of the situation?
