Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A soil sample is subjected to a series of load increments for 24 hours each, eventually showing a permanent strain of 5%. If unloaded, estimate how much it would recover based on the expansion curve.
💡 Hint: Analyze the changes post-unloading to trace back to recovery.
Question 2
Propose a scenario where rapid unloading would affect the soil structure and discuss potential design implications.
💡 Hint: Using the properties of permanent strain and effective stress, what could this lead to?
