Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are tasked with stabilizing a soil that has an initial compression strength of 75 psi. After applying 4% cement, a Standard Proctor test shows a maximum dry unit weight, but the unconfined compression test reveals only a 90 psi gain. What should your next steps be?

💡 Hint: Consider the implications of not reaching 100 psi.

Question 2

A project requires a new subgrade to be laid with soil cement modified at 4.5%. Discuss the possible effects of using this percentage against the recommended range.

💡 Hint: Recall the specified acceptable range.
