Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A project requires concrete with a compressive strength of 40 MPa. If the characteristic strength is 30 MPa with a risk factor of 1.65 and standard deviation of 5, what is the target mean strength needed?

💡 Hint: Use the target mean strength formula!

Question 2

Describe how you might adjust your mix design if your initial concrete showed low workability.

💡 Hint: Think about the materials you can modify.
