Question 1

What is the formula for calculating target mean strength?

  • fcm = fck + k × s
  • W/C = cement / water
  • Strength = mass/volume

💡 Hint: Focus on how we account for variability in concrete.

Question 2

True or False: A lower water-cement ratio always guarantees higher strength.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the balance between strength and workability.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A project requires a concrete mix with a target strength of 35 MPa. The historical data shows a standard deviation of 4.5 MPa. Calculate the target mean strength.

💡 Hint: Focus on using the provided formula correctly.

Question 2

Given a mixture designed with a W/C ratio of 0.4 and a target water content of 160 kg, how much cement is required?

💡 Hint: Recollect the basic relationship in the W/C ratio.
