Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A construction site uses different moisture levels for compaction. Describe the consequences of using very dry vs. very wet soil in terms of compaction and stability.

💡 Hint: Think about what happens to the soil structure in both conditions.

Question 2

Create a scenario where OMC could vary significantly. Discuss how it would affect the compaction process.

💡 Hint: Consider soil type and environmental factors like rainfall.
