Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A contractor insists on using a w/c ratio of 0.60 for a marine structure purely for workability. What are the potential long-term implications of this choice, and how could you argue for a lower ratio?

💡 Hint: Consider the life span of marine structures.

Question 2

Given a concrete strength requirement of 35 MPa, propose a water-cement ratio based on typical structural guidelines. Explain your reasoning.

💡 Hint: Reflect on typical exposure conditions and structural requirements.
