Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A material has a compressibility of 0.001 m²/N. If a force of 1000N is applied, calculate the expected volume reduction if its original volume was 1m³.

💡 Hint: Use the formula for volume reduction based on compressibility.

Question 2

How would you compare the behavior of clay and sand under the same level of moisture? Discuss in regards to their Swelling Index and compressibility.

💡 Hint: Consider their physical properties and how they react to moisture.
