Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A construction site needs to compact gravel with a lift thickness of 10 inches using a heavy roller. If the roller weighs 1500 lbs, explain how the weight affects the number of passes needed and potential adjustments if soil moisture is high.

💡 Hint: Consider the compaction guidelines for your soil type.

Question 2

Design a compaction strategy for a clay surface with varying water content. How would you adjust lift thickness depending on moisture changes?

💡 Hint: What properties do clay and moisture interact with during compaction?
