Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a compaction plan for a construction site with mixed soil types (clay, sand, and gravel). Specify the equipment to use and the number of passes required for each type.

💡 Hint: Consider the properties of each soil type and its compaction needs.

Question 2

Evaluate how a 2% deviation in moisture content from the optimum moisture content could affect compaction results in clayey soil.

💡 Hint: Think about the interplay of moisture and density.
