Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A concrete batch shows a mean strength of 25 MPa with a standard deviation of 5 MPa. Is this batch acceptable for an fck of 30 MPa?

💡 Hint: Review the relationship between target strengths and mean strengths.

Challenge 2 Hard

Discuss the importance of maintaining a low standard deviation in concrete production for long-term structural integrity.

💡 Hint: Consider how variability impacts structural performance.
