Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
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.
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.
