Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What happens to permeability as soil density increases?

💡 Hint: Think about the void spaces in the soil.

Question 2

Easy

Is dry-compacted soil generally more or less permeable than wet-compacted soil?

💡 Hint: Consider the moisture's effect on soil structure.

Question 1

What effect does increased dry density have on soil permeability?

  • A. Increases permeability
  • B. Decreases permeability
  • C. No effect

💡 Hint: Think about the spaces in packed soil.

Question 2

True or False: Soil compacted wet of optimum is always less permeable than dry compacted soil.

  • True

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a soil sample with varying moisture content, predict how permeability would change across four compaction scenarios.

💡 Hint: Consider how each moisture level impacts compaction.

Question 2

Design an experiment that examines the effect of particle size on compaction and permeability.

💡 Hint: Different sizes will yield different permeabilities, so prepare to record observations.
