Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a mix for M35 concrete with a target mean strength considering severe exposure. If you have water content of 195 kg, how much cement do you need?

💡 Hint: Calculate the target mean strength before finding cement content.

Question 2

You are designing for high-strength concrete (M60) with a water-cement ratio of 0.35. If you decide to use 210 kg of water, calculate the amount of cement needed ensuring it meets the standards.

💡 Hint: Check if the cement content aligns with the performance requirements of M60.
