Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You are tasked with designing a pavement structure over a stretch with mixed soil types. Propose a soil testing strategy that would help you ensure adequate load-bearing capacity and minimal deformation over time.

💡 Hint: Consider both short-term and long-term testing methods.

Question 2

Evaluate the implications of using expansive clay soils (like black cotton soils) in pavement foundations. What stabilization measures would you recommend?

💡 Hint: Think about both immediate and long-term soil behavior.
