Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a natural soil with a UCS of 150 psi. You add 5% lime, curing it as per specifications. After evaluation, your UCS is 210 psi. Is this stabilization successful?

💡 Hint: Calculate the gain and compare it to the threshold.

Question 2

A project requires evaluating the cost-effectiveness of using fly ash as a stabilizer versus traditional cement. Consider the properties, environmental impact, and overall strength needed.

💡 Hint: Compare both in terms of technical and financial perspectives.
