    Quizzical Pursuit
    —The Architecture Puzzler

    Created by Dave Guadagni

    Solution to Last Week's Puzzler
    Architecture Puzzler #267

    Question

    If your contractor poured one hundred lineal feet (30.5 lineal meters) of concrete, you might expect it to shrink in length by about 1/4", 3/4", or 1-1/2"? (6.3, 19, or 38 millimeters?)

    Answer

    A good mix design without excessive water will shrink about 3/4" per 100 lineal feet (19 millimeters per 30.5 meters, or .62 millimeters per meter).
     


     

    Okay, got it? Now try this week's Puzzler:
