Question 1

What happens to the strength of soil when compacted dry of optimum?

  • It decreases
  • It stays the same
  • It increases

💡 Hint: Relate this to the effects of void space.

Question 2

True or False: Soil compacted wet of optimum has better shear strength than dry compacted soil.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the particle arrangements in both cases.
