Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A construction site requires a soil density of 1.9 g/cm³. Given that the MDD of the soil is 2.0 g/cm³ at 15% moisture, how would you adjust the moisture to achieve the desired density?

💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between moisture levels and density.

Question 2

You are tasked with choosing a compaction method for a project involving both coarse and fine-grained soils. How would you approach selecting the appropriate techniques?

💡 Hint: Consider the attributes of each soil type and how they interact with compaction methods.
