Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a batch with 175 kg water and a W/C ratio of 0.40, calculate the required cement mass. Adjust for a scenario where aggregates have 5% free moisture.

💡 Hint: Consider how the moisture affects your water input.

Question 2

You have 0.1 m³ of cement with a specific gravity of 3.1 and must find out how much weight this cement represents. Next, discuss how this impacts your mix design.

💡 Hint: Applying the volume to mass conversion is key; think about the whole mix.
