Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A cylindrical soil sample is tested with a shear vane having a diameter of 10 cm and height of 15 cm. The maximum torque recorded is 50 Nm. Calculate the undrained shear strength.
💡 Hint: Use the relationship between dimensions and torque to find shear strength.
Question 2
Design a study to analyze how varying water content affects the results of a vane shear test.
💡 Hint: Consider varying one factor at a time for a clear analysis.
