Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A Plate Load Test results show a k-value of 150 kN/m³. If the pavement design requires a minimum of 200 kN/m³, what recommendations would you give for improving the subgrade?
💡 Hint: Consider construction methods that enhance soil strength.
Question 2
During a Plate Load Test, a load of 80 kN caused a settlement of 20 mm. Calculate the k-value and discuss whether this soil is suitable for rigid pavement.
💡 Hint: Convert the settlement to meters when calculating.
