Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A construction site shows soil with very low moisture content after Standard Proctor testing. The history suggests high plasticity. What should the engineer conclude regarding cement content?

💡 Hint: Consider how moisture and plastic characteristics influence the soil's behavior.

Question 2

In a project, a standard CBR test yields a gain of only 80 psi despite a standard 4% cement content. Propose a solution.

💡 Hint: Reflect on cement effectiveness relative to test measurements.
