Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a concrete structure built using reactive aggregates and ordinary cement. Describe the timeline of events that might occur due to AAR. Include potential failure modes and how you would prevent them.

💡 Hint: Think about the factors of time, moisture, and chemical reactivity.

Question 2

Analyze the long-term effects of not controlling moisture in a concrete structure built with reactive aggregates. What engineering solutions could reverse damage once cracks form?

💡 Hint: Consider both short-term and long-term implications of moisture not being managed.
