Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A concrete contractor needs to meet a target mean flexural strength of 5.5 MPa. If the standard deviation is measured at 0.7 MPa, what is the minimum characteristic flexural strength required?

💡 Hint: Detach the f_ck from the formula.

Question 2

Analyze the effects of underestimating the target mean flexural strength in practical construction scenarios.

💡 Hint: Connect your knowledge about flexural strength with real-world impacts.
