Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a saturated sandy soil with a high void ratio subjected to an earthquake. Discuss the expected behavior and factors that contribute to its liquefaction potential.

💡 Hint: Consider how pore pressure and void ratios interact.

Question 2

Evaluate a site with well-graded silt near a shallow groundwater table. How would you assess its liquefaction risks compared to a site with uniform sand under similar conditions?

💡 Hint: Think about the differences in soil types specifics.
