Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a scenario with high temperatures and extensive delays, describe how each issue (bleeding, slump loss, and re-tempering) would affect the fresh concrete behavior and the final structure.

💡 Hint: Think about how each factor interconnects.

Challenge 2 Hard

Evaluate the effectiveness of various control measures for preventing segregation during concrete placement. Consider material selection and mixing techniques.

💡 Hint: Connect this to the mixing and handling processes.
