Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Explain how field tests (SPT, CPT, Vs) could impact the design of a bridge in a seismic zone. Consider various soil conditions and assessments of liquefaction risks.

💡 Hint: Reflect on how varying soil conditions can affect structure stability.

Question 2

You conduct an SPT and record an N-value of 4 in a layer followed by a CPT indicating low resistance. What recommendations would you make for upcoming construction?

💡 Hint: Think about the implications of low resistance on safety measures.
