Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given that HPC can exceed 100 MPa in compressive strength, how would you calculate the volume of concrete needed for a column design that supports a load of 1,000 kN? Assume specific weight of concrete is 24 kN/m³.

💡 Hint: Use the load formula, dividing by density to find volume.

Question 2

Compare and contrast the costs and benefits of using HPC in skyscrapers versus traditional concrete. What are the long-term considerations?

💡 Hint: Think about lifecycle costs, not just immediate expenses.
