Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You have a range of bitumen contents from 3.5% to 5% in tests yielding various stability and flow values. You need to determine the best content based on project specifications requiring a minimum flow of 8 units. Analyze and present your findings.

💡 Hint: Draw out a graph to visualize the trade-offs.

Challenge 2 Hard

Given that a mix design shows abnormal stability results—explain causes and suggest corrective measures while ensuring compliance with established standards.

💡 Hint: Remember common pitfalls in mixture preparation.
