Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A construction project requires a high-strength concrete with a significant reduction in water content. Discuss how superplasticizers can facilitate this requirement and outline any challenges that may arise.

💡 Hint: Consider both the benefits and potential downsides.

Question 2

Calculate the potential savings in water usage if a concrete batch uses 200 kg of cement and incorporates a superplasticizer that allows for a 25% reduction in water. Determine how this impacts the workability requirements.

💡 Hint: Think about the initial water content typically required.
