Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A sample of soil collected from a construction site shows a gradation curve that is continuous and covers a wide range of particle sizes. What type of gradation is this, and why is it beneficial for construction?

💡 Hint: Consider how particle sizes interact with one another.

Question 2

You have a site where gap-graded soils are present. What construction techniques or treatments could you implement to compensate for potential drainage and stability issues?

💡 Hint: Think about methods that can aid during construction and improve soil performance.
