Question 1

What happens to soil permeability when compaction increases?

  • Increases
  • Decreases
  • Remains the same

💡 Hint: Remember the relationship between density and how well water can flow through soil.

Question 2

True or False: Compacted soil can be more permeable when compacted dry of optimum compared to wet.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how moisture affects soil structure.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a situation where a building is experiencing uneven settling, analyze approaches that could be taken during the compaction process to ensure uniform density.

💡 Hint: Review how moisture impacts density and how equipment can vary compactive efforts.

Question 2

Evaluate the role of soil particle sizes in determining the permeability of compacted soils and their shear strength.

💡 Hint: Think about how particle shape and size change the soil's response to compaction.
