Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
You are tasked with designing a road over a peat-rich area. Describe the potential compressibility issues and how you would address them.
💡 Hint: Consider stabilization methods and their impact on reducing compressibility.
Question 2
Calculate the expected compression if the Compression Index (Cc) of a soil is 0.5 and the applied pressure increases by 100 kPa. How much volume change would you expect if the initial void ratio was 0.9?
💡 Hint: Recall the relationships in the compression formulas.
