Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You have three aggregates to test: one known for high reactivity, one commonly used with minimal issue, and one new type. How would you prioritize testing for potential expansion?

💡 Hint: Consider the risk each aggregate poses based on previous experiences.

Challenge 2 Hard

If a project shows initial signs of expansion linked to alkali reactions, what steps should be taken to mitigate this risk for future constructions?

💡 Hint: Think about preventive measures and adjustments to sourcing strategies.
