Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Consider a soil with initially high void ratio subjected to increasing loads. Describe the changes in both its void ratio and effective stress as it approaches failure.
💡 Hint: Think about how soil structure can change under extreme loads.
Question 2
Analyze a soil sample that shows different hysteresis effects upon unloading and reloading. What factors contribute to this observed behavior?
💡 Hint: Consider the physical properties and history of soil.
