Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What does SPT measure in soil?

  • Soil density
  • Soil resistance to penetration
  • Shear strength

💡 Hint: It's about how well soil holds up against being pushed.

Question 2

True or False: A Factor of Safety less than 1 indicates a lower risk of liquefaction.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about what a safety factor under 1 suggests.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a site with a high corrected N-value from SPT and low ratings from CPT, predict the liquefaction potential and justify the reasoning.

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between the two test results and contextual implications.

Question 2

Design a study comparing the effectiveness of cyclic triaxial tests versus cyclic simple shear tests in assessing liquefaction susceptibility. What parameters are critical?

💡 Hint: Explore how each method provides insights into soil behavior differently.
