Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a concrete mix for a pavement application with a target slump of 70 mm. Given your aggregates are angular, describe how you would adjust your water content estimation.

💡 Hint: Review the steps you learned on how aggregate shapes affect water recommendations.

Question 2

Discuss the long-term impacts of underestimating water content in a concrete mix for pavements. What signs might indicate issues later on?

💡 Hint: Think about how the concrete behaves over time with insufficient water.
