Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Evaluate a site with a shallow water table and loose sandy soil. What interventions might you recommend to mitigate liquefaction risk during an earthquake?

💡 Hint: Consider different engineering strategies for soil stabilization.

Question 2

Discuss how the characteristics of a site can change the liquefaction potential based on your knowledge of the seismic factors. Create a checklist of factors to evaluate.

💡 Hint: Identify parameters that can lessen or heighten liquefaction risks.
