Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a site where clay soil is to be stabilized by adding lime. Discuss the expected changes in shear strength and settlement after compaction, providing a rationale based on soil mechanics principles.

💡 Hint: Think about how lime reacts chemically with clay.

Question 2

Analyze a scenario where a construction site is experiencing soil settlement issues even after compaction. What factors could lead to increased settlement, and how might the addition of admixtures rectify these problems?

💡 Hint: Consider moisture content and how it interacts with compaction methods.
