Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A construction engineer is assessing a site with both fine and coarse soils. How would you approach the compaction process to ensure stability?

💡 Hint: Consider the unique characteristics of each soil type.

Question 2

Given data shows that clay compacted dry of optimum experiences less settlement than the wet side. If a building is placed on this soil, how might this influence construction schedules?

💡 Hint: Think about time-sensitive impacts of soil behavior.
