Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A construction site receives a batch of concrete with a measured slump of 20 mm when a slump of 75-100 mm is expected. Discuss the potential consequences on workability and structural integrity.

💡 Hint: Consider how proper compaction affects strength.

Question 2

Given that excessive fines lead to low slump, propose a strategy to ensure proper grading of aggregates in mix design.

💡 Hint: Refer to aggregate grading tables in the IS codes for guidance.
