Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Analyze a scenario where a new mix design shows a 15% loss in the Static Immersion Test. Discuss the implications for pavement longevity and suggest potential additives that could improve performance.

💡 Hint: Think about how performance needs change in moisture-rich environments.

Challenge 2 Hard

The Static Immersion Test indicates a 50% loss in coating for a particular binder-aggregate pair. Examine the risks involved in using this combination for airport runways compared to standard road pavements.

💡 Hint: Consider different performance standards and conditions for varying pavement types.
