Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a loose sandy soil and a dense clay soil under the same load, which will likely experience more deformation and why?
💡 Hint: Consider the properties of sandy versus clay soils.
Question 2
Calculate the shear strength of a soil if the normal stress is 100 kPa and the shear stress at failure is given as 60 kPa based on the Mohr-Coulomb Failure Criteria.
💡 Hint: Consider how cohesion plays a role in the shear strength defined by the Mohr-Coulomb criteria.
