Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Analyze a scenario where a building is constructed on previously loaded soil. Explain how the behavior beyond point C can lead to structural issues.
💡 Hint: Consider how the building load interacts with prior soil behavior.
Question 2
Given a consolidation curve with specific void ratios and stress points, calculate the expected permanent strain for a hypothetical soil sample.
💡 Hint: Refer back to how permanent strain is defined based on loading cycles.
