Full Description
This examination assesses the theoretical underpinnings of soil compaction and its significance in engineering design.
Soil compaction plays a crucial role in increasing soil strength, enhancing load-bearing capacity, and preventing future settlement or failure in structures.
Candidates will articulate key compaction theories, such as the Proctor test, while also discussing soil moisture content and compaction techniques.
Furthermore, students may be evaluated on their ability to connect compaction practices to geotechnical best practices.
Sample Questions
- How does moisture content affect the compaction of soil?
- What are the key objectives of the Proctor test in soil mechanics?
