Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Analyze a scenario where a city is built on varying soil types (hard rock, medium, and soft). Discuss how engineers should approach foundation design in each case.

💡 Hint: Break it down by considering the specifics of each soil type.

Question 2

Evaluate the potential disaster risk for a building constructed on soft soil without proper soil analysis and foundation design in an earthquake-prone area.

💡 Hint: Think about the role of preparedness in civil engineering.
