Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You are performing tests on a concrete slab showing signs of failure. The Rebound Hammer test shows a score of 15, and the UPV test indicates a velocity of 2.5 km/s. Analyze the implications of these results.
💡 Hint: Consider how these low values interact with your understanding of concrete quality.
In a construction project, test results suggest conflicting evidence: one area shows good rebound hammer results while UPV indicates internal flaws. How would you approach this situation?
💡 Hint: Reflect on the importance of corroborating evidence in construction safety!
