Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

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.

Question 2

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.
