Question 1

What is the correct formula to calculate cement content?

  • Cement Content = Water Content * Water-Cement Ratio
  • Cement Content = Water Content / Water-Cement Ratio
  • Cement Content = Water Content + Water-Cement Ratio

💡 Hint: Pay attention to how the relationship is structured.

Question 2

True or False: A higher water-cement ratio always leads to higher strength concrete.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the implications of too much water.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a concrete mix has a water content of 500 kg and a desired water-cement ratio of 0.4, calculate the cement content and discuss implications for environmental exposure.

💡 Hint: Think about how excessive or minimal cement can lead to issues.

Question 2

If a project specifies a minimum cement content of 400 kg for durability, but calculations suggest only 300 kg based on water content and ratio, what are potential consequences?

💡 Hint: Consider durability standards in concrete pavement design.
