Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is the relationship between water content and density?

  • Increases only
  • Increases up to a point then decreases
  • Decreases at all times

💡 Hint: Think about what happens after reaching OMC.

Question 2

Is it true or false that increased compaction always results in higher density?

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how different soils react to the same compaction.
