Question 1

What is the Factor of Safety (FS) used for?

  • To ensure soil compaction
  • To assess liquefaction potential
  • To measure soil moisture

💡 Hint: Think about its role in earthquake assessments.

Question 2

True or False: A Factor of Safety greater than 1 indicates no risk of liquefaction.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: What's the meaning of being above 1 in ratios?

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A site with a CRR of 0.35 and CSR of 0.5 is under consideration for construction. What is the FS, and what does it indicate about liquefaction risk?

💡 Hint: Calculate using the ratio given!

Question 2

Consider a soil sample with a high water table affecting both CRR and CSR. List factors that could be mitigated to reduce the risk of liquefaction if the CSR were to increase.

💡 Hint: Think about engineering solutions to improve the soil's resistance.
