Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a soil sample with variable compaction levels, design an experiment to measure its permeability variations.

💡 Hint: Consider how compactive effort will change observable outcomes.

Question 2

Reflect on a scenario where excessive compaction leads to drainage failure. Analyze factors that could have contributed to this outcome.

💡 Hint: Put yourself in the shoes of an engineer evaluating a failed drainage project.
