Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A saturated loose sand experiences cyclic loading leading to a drop in shear modulus from 40 MPa to 15 MPa. What does this indicate about its stability during an earthquake?
💡 Hint: Reflect on how soil behavior changes under stress!
Question 2
Using dynamic modulus curves, how might one predict the shear modulus of a soil after a certain strain level of 5%?
💡 Hint: Utilize graphical analysis from your notes.
