Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Evaluate a situation where a building is constructed on saturated soil. After a liquefaction event, the structure begins to tilt. What steps would you take to assess the soil conditions and recommend a foundation strategy? Discuss your reasoning.

💡 Hint: Think about both the immediate aftermath and long-term stability.

Question 2

Design a mitigation strategy for a community located in a known liquefaction zone. Consider both the soil characteristics and the potential for significant settlement.

💡 Hint: Consider the resources available for engineering solutions.
