Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A soil sample exhibits a cohesion of 35 kPa and a friction angle of 28 degrees. If subjected to a vertical load of 70 kPa, would this sample likely fail? Justify your reasoning based on soil mechanics principles.

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between cohesion, friction angle, and applied loads.

Question 2

In what scenarios would you prefer to perform a CU test over a UU test, and why?

💡 Hint: Think about the importance of drainage and load timing in your project.
