Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a scenario where you've tested seven concrete samples yielding results of: 26, 24, 25, 21, 20, 23, and 22 MPa, calculate whether you can approve this mix for use.

💡 Hint: Assess average strength and individual results!

Question 2

If you decrease the water-cement ratio from 0.50 to 0.42 to enhance durability, what factors should you monitor?

💡 Hint: Think about how cement interacts with water and aggregates.
