Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
For a hypothetical site, if a saturated sandy soil has a high void ratio and underwent significant static loading resulting in liquefaction, discuss the implications for its post-liquefaction residual strength.
💡 Hint: Reflect on the how void ratios and strain interact.
Evaluate the following scenario: A recently liquefied embankment shows signs of excessive lateral displacement but minimal vertical settlement. Discuss the factors affecting residual strength in this case.
💡 Hint: Consider how different types of stress influence soil behavior.
