Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a soil sample with a grading curve. It shows that 90% of the particles pass through a 4.75mm sieve and 10% pass through a 0.075mm sieve. Determine the uniformity coefficient.

💡 Hint: Think about how uniformity relates to particle distribution.

Question 2

In a hypothetical scenario, if soil characteristics indicate that all particles are of the same size, what challenges might arise in construction?

💡 Hint: Consider how different particle sizes work together.
