Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A major highway is experiencing increased traffic load leading to pavement cracking. Determine the required adjustments to compressive and flexural strengths needed to fortify the pavement for extended service life.

💡 Hint: Refer back to load requirements and typical strength values.

Question 2

Assume a concrete mix is designed but fails to consider adequate shrinkage and creep resistance. Write a short report discussing potential long-term impacts and proposed revisions.

💡 Hint: Think about what uncontrolled deformation means for large-scale infrastructure.
