Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A new concrete design has a charge passed of 500 coulombs. Compare this to an older mix with 1800 coulombs. Discuss which is preferred in a coastal construction project and why.

💡 Hint: Think about the impact of chlorides in marine settings on concrete.

Question 2

If a construction project budget allows for a choice between standard concrete and high-performance concrete, how would you justify the choice of high-performance concrete based on RCPT?

💡 Hint: Consider how initial costs relate to long-term maintenance and durability.
