Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a soil sample with initial void ratio of 0.6 and after compaction, the void ratio reduces to 0.4, determine the percent decrease in voids and the corresponding increase in density.

💡 Hint: Focus on the void ratio change and how it relates to density.

Question 2

Calculate the potential increase in bearing capacity when a soil's density improves from 1.5 g/cm³ to 1.8 g/cm³. Assume a linear relationship for simplicity.

💡 Hint: Remember to consider load factors in your calculations.
