Question 1

A site manager needs to improve the bearing capacity of a sandy soil for a new building. Given that the site's moisture content is high, what steps should he take considering the principles of soil compaction?

💡 Hint: Think about how moisture levels affect compaction and density.

Question 2

If a fine-grained soil is compacted wet of optimum, what can you predict about its performance in terms of shear strength and settlement compared to when it is compacted dry of optimum?

💡 Hint: Consider the differences in soil structure under varying moisture conditions.
