Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A concrete structure is required to withstand severe marine exposure. Draft a potential mix design outlining binder content, SCMs, and w/b ratio justifying each choice based on durability needs.

💡 Hint: Refer to marine exposure considerations and typical ratios.

Question 2

Discuss the impact of varying the aggregate size from coarse to fine on the overall properties of HPC. Create a scenario where this would either benefit or harm the performance.

💡 Hint: Consider specific examples of when changing aggregate size may be beneficial or detrimental.
