Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a soil type and compaction method, predict the bearing capacity relative to its density and moisture content.

💡 Hint: Examine both dry and wet conditions for clarity.

Question 2

Evaluate how pore pressure changes impact the settlement of compacted clayey soil under load.

💡 Hint: Relate pore pressure back to water content and soil structure.
