Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Imagine you are designing an SCC mix with low yield stress, but you also want to ensure it maintains sufficient viscosity. How would you balance the two, and what components would you adjust?
💡 Hint: Think about how changing components affects both properties.
If an SCC application requires optimal thixotropic behavior to hold its shape in a vertical structure, explain how you would achieve this through mix design and what testing you would conduct.
💡 Hint: Consider how different elements in the mix can affect stability.
