Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You are on a construction site, and the team has mixed a batch of concrete. The Slump Test shows a high slump value, while the Compacting Factor Test indicates a poor compactness result. What steps would you take to evaluate and possibly adjust the mix?

💡 Hint: High slump usually indicates excess water, which weakens the mix.

Challenge 2 Hard

You need a concrete mix for a tall building project where stability during pouring is crucial. Which test would you prioritize and why?

💡 Hint: Think about what happens to concrete under pressure.
