Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

In a recent construction project, the aggregates tested showed a 15% loss in the Sodium Sulfate Test. Discuss the implications of this outcome on the pavement durability and the likely courses of action.

💡 Hint: Analyze how this failure impacts structural integrity.

Question 2

You are tasked with designing a research study to analyze the performance of a new aggregate type under varying environmental conditions. Create a structured outline of your study, including test types and expected performance criteria.

💡 Hint: Think about various factors that affect aggregate performance.
