Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a pavement section with expansion joints every 140 cm, knowing the maximum temperature differential is 30°C. How would you estimate the required joint thickness?

💡 Hint: Research typical thermal expansion coefficients for concrete.

Question 2

Conduct a detailed analysis on the spacing of tie bars in a heavily trafficked slab of 25 cm thickness with a width of 6 m. How would you ensure effective load and friction resistance?

💡 Hint: Refer back to previous formulas used for area calculations.
