Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a concrete mix for a structure requiring high strength but that also needs to be placed in a tight area. Explain the selection of aggregates based on their shape and texture.

💡 Hint: Think about the balance between strength and placement ease.

Question 2

Discuss how you would modify a concrete mix that is overly difficult to work with due to angular aggregates.

💡 Hint: Identify additives that can help achieve better flow and consistency.
