Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You are tasked with using a surface vibrator on a concrete slab that's 180 mm thick, but you find it difficult to achieve satisfactory consolidation. What factors might be influencing this situation?
💡 Hint: Consider the tools’ limits and their ability to transfer vibration.
You notice that after using a surface vibrator, the surface layer has segregated. Explain why this might have happened and how to prevent it in future projects.
💡 Hint: Think about how workability correlates with the mixer behavior.
