Question 1

What happens to CBR as the Plasticity Index increases?

  • CBR increases
  • CBR decreases
  • CBR stays the same

💡 Hint: Remember the relationship with strength.

Question 2

True or False: Higher dry density always results in lower soil strength.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about compaction effects.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have two soil samples. Sample A has a PI of 20, and Sample B has a PI of 10. Predict which sample would likely demonstrate higher CBR values.

💡 Hint: Consider plasticity's effect on CBR.

Question 2

During a pavement assessment, you find a correlation chart indicating that DCPT penetration resistance can predict CBR values. If the resistance for a site is recorded at 20 mm, estimate the CBR using the available correlation.

💡 Hint: Use specifics of the provided correlation.
