Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Assess how a construction site’s geographical features might impact the soil's OMC and MDD, taking into account rainfall patterns and material availability.

💡 Hint: Think about the interplay between moisture and soil composition.

Question 2

Devise strategies for the optimal compaction process when integrating recycled materials into a site, focusing on achieving MDD with varied moisture types.

💡 Hint: Consider both properties of the recycled material and its interaction with the native soil.
