Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A project requires a subgrade with a Group Index lower than 2. Given a soil with 35% passing No. 200 sieve, LL of 48, and PI of 12, evaluate if this soil meets the requirement by calculating the GI.

💡 Hint: Follow the formula closely, noting each element's impact.

Question 2

Discuss how improper soil classification can lead to pavement failure and what preventive measures should be taken.

💡 Hint: Think about the impacts of incorrect assessments on infrastructure.
