Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Imagine you have a clay soil with a plasticity index indicating high plasticity. Discuss whether lime, cement, or a combination would be best suited for stabilization and why.

💡 Hint: Focus on the properties of the soil and benefits of each chemical.

Question 2

Evaluate a soil stabilization project where the initial test shows only a 20 psi increase in strength with lime. What steps would you recommend to improve this outcome?

💡 Hint: Think about the ingredients and conditions for better stability.
