Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A road construction project requires heavy compaction due to the underlying soil being predominantly clay. Assess whether a Sheepsfoot Roller would be effective and explain why or why not.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the type of soil and the compaction requirements.

Question 2

Calculate the necessary weight for a Sheepsfoot Roller to achieve the desired compaction on a fine-grained soil site. Assuming each foot of the roller exerts a pressure of 800 kPa, determine if the standard weight range is sufficient for a compacted area of 1000 m².

💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between weight, area, and pressure.
