Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given test results of 20 MPa, 22 MPa, 24 MPa, and 28 MPa for a concrete mix designed to achieve 25 MPa, determine if the mix should be accepted or rejected.

💡 Hint: Check if the average meets the characteristic strength.

Challenge 2 Hard

You have a concrete mix that yields variable results across several batches. How would you assess the quality and what corrective measures might you implement?

💡 Hint: Consider what's causing the variability: materials, mixing, or environmental factors.
