Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
You have performed a Plate Load Test at a construction site. A load of 5000 lb resulted in a settlement of 2 inches. Determine the k-value and discuss its implications for pavement design.
💡 Hint: Use the formula k = Load intensity / Settlement.
Question 2
A highway was built on an area with varying moisture content. After heavy rains, significant settlement occurred. Propose a remediation plan that includes how to reassess the k-value.
💡 Hint: Focus on environmental factors that affect ground stability.
