Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A civil engineering project predicts that a new office building will weigh 2000 kN. The soil beneath is clay with an estimated moisture content of 30%. Calculate the expected immediate and long-term settlement.

💡 Hint: Refer to formulas that utilize load, area, and soil consolidation data.

Question 2

Underestimating settlement on a building constructed over clay led to cracks in the foundation. What data points would you review to improve future calculations?

💡 Hint: Think about factors that influence soil stability and settlement outcomes.
