Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A soil sample displays a void ratio of 0.4 under a specific effective stress. If the stress increases, predict how the void ratio will change and explain.
💡 Hint: Consider the principles of consolidation and void ratio behavior.
Question 2
Analyze the effects of unloading on a soil structure that originally compresses significantly. What design considerations will engineers need to make for this structure?
💡 Hint: Remember how soils behave differently during unloading and reloading.
