Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Assuming the use of SBR latex results in a 30% increase in bond strength, calculate the bond strength of a concrete slab with an original bond strength of 2 MPa.

💡 Hint: Calculate 30% of the original bond strength and add it back.

Question 2

A construction requires the application of SBR modified concrete in a basement. The area to be covered is 150 square meters. If SBR latex costs $2 per liter and the expected usage is 15 liters per 100 m2, calculate the total cost of SBR latex needed.

💡 Hint: Use proportion to find out how much latex is needed for the specific area.
