Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a slab of thickness 20 cm with a modulus of elasticity of 300,000 kg/cm², calculate the warping stress induced by a temperature gradient of 15°C. Assume relevant coefficients.

💡 Hint: Remember to break down the equation into parts for lesser complexity.

Question 2

Analyze how seasonal temperature changes affect frictional stresses in a concrete pavement using the unit weight and coefficient provided in the frictional stress formula.

💡 Hint: Focus on the formula and ensure units match for accurate calculations.
