Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a bridge design where tie rods are used to counteract a specific load. If the material used can handle a tensile strength of 200 MPa and the loaded tensile force applied is calculated to be 150 MPa, discuss the implications for safety.

💡 Hint: Think about safety factors in designs.

Question 2

If a construction team chooses a tie rod material with a tensile strength of 75% less than the required value for a support beam in a skyscraper, analyze the potential risks and consequences they might face during and after construction.

💡 Hint: Consider the long-term implications of incorrect material choices.
