Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a hypothetical project requiring pavement over a clay subgrade. If your UCS test results show inadequate strength, outline a comprehensive approach to enhance the subgrade strength while considering environmental factors.

💡 Hint: Think about combining various methods to achieve the desired soil strength.

Question 2

Evaluate a UCS test result of a clay soil showing a UCS value of 120 kPa. Discuss its implications for road construction in a wet region.

💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between moisture content and soil behavior in your assessment.
