Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a scenario where a CBR value of 15% is recorded. What recommendations would you provide for pavement thickness and why?

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between CBR and pavement thickness.

Challenge 2 Hard

You perform all three soil strength tests (CBR, Plate Load, DCPT) and get conflicting results. What steps can you take to resolve this and decide on the pavement design?

💡 Hint: Coordinate data for a cohesive assessment.
