Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the total amount of water needed for a concrete mix that includes a superplasticizer if the original water requirement is 250 kg, and the superplasticizer allows a reduction of 15%.

💡 Hint: What does '15% of 250 kg' mean?

Question 2

You are conducting a trial mix and added a plasticizer which increased the slump from 40 mm to 90 mm. Discuss what considerations you should make for your actual production batch.

💡 Hint: How does increased workability affect the overall mix?
