Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a construction project using SCC. It experiences significant rain during the mixing phase. Analyze the potential effects and propose solutions to mitigate these issues.

💡 Hint: Reflect on how environmental changes affect mixing.

Challenge 2 Hard

A project manager observes issues with formwork bulging during SCC placement. Propose strategies to minimize this problem based on what we've learned.

💡 Hint: Think about both structural and material solutions.
