Question 1

What does relative density indicate?

  • Soil's moisture content
  • Soil's compactness
  • Soil's drainage capability

💡 Hint: Think about how packed the soil is.

Question 2

True or False: Higher relative density always results in lower angles of friction.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Remember the relationship between density and stability.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A construction site has three soil samples: one with a relative density of 30%, another at 50%, and the last at 70%. Determine which sample is likely to have the highest angle of friction and explain why.

💡 Hint: Think about how density influences resistance to sliding.

Question 2

If a geotechnical analysis reveals an angle of friction of 45 degrees for a specific coarse-grained soil at a relative density of 75%, what implications does this have for a new foundation?

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between load capacities and stability.
