Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A concrete mix has a characteristic strength (fck) of 35 MPa and a standard deviation (s) of 4 MPa. Calculate the target mean strength (fcm) using a statistical factor (k) of 1.65. Discuss the implications of this strength in a structural design.
💡 Hint: Use the formula carefully to include all parameters.
Question 2
How would you adjust your mix design if tests showed an increase in standard deviation to 6 MPa? What steps would you take to mitigate this uncertainty?
💡 Hint: Think about how variability impacts your calculations.
