Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a concrete pillar subject to a guess weight of 50 kN. If the recorded compressive strength of the tested concrete is 60 kN, what should be the design consideration for this pillar?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how safety factors are applied.

Question 2

Discuss how varying the cross-sectional area of a concrete sample during the compression test could affect the results and what engineering decisions could be derived.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider how thickness or width influences load distribution.
