Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A loose sandy soil exhibits a large hysteresis loop during cyclic testing. Discuss the potential implications for building a structure on this soil and suggest improvement techniques.
💡 Hint: Connect hysteresis characteristics to practical engineering solutions.
Question 2
Analyze the stress-strain curve of a soil sample that shows minimal energy dissipation. What might this indicate about its damping capacity and overall stability?
💡 Hint: Think about how energy dissipation affects real-world applications in construction.
