Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A soil sample has a void ratio of 0.4 and receives water to reach saturation. If the specific gravity is 2.7 and the initial dry density is 1600 kg/m³, what is the final saturated unit weight?

💡 Hint: Remember your moisture content calculations!

Question 2

Develop a scenario where soil fails to perform due to improper moisture levels. Describe how you'd calculate the needed adjustments.

💡 Hint: Use historical data on the site moisture fluctuations!
