Question 1.
What is the typical percent cement content for subgrade modification?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the range mentioned in the notes.
Question 2.
What does the Standard Proctor test measure?
Show hintHide hint
Consider what test determines compaction efficiency.
3Question 3.
What percentage of cement is generally recommended for soil stabilization?
- 2-3%
- 4% ± 0.50%
- 5-6%
Show hintHide hint
Check your notes for cement content recommendations.
4Question 4.
True or False: The Standard Proctor test measures soil's moisture content only.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Remember what aspects this test evaluates.
Question 5.
You have a soil sample weighing 2000 grams. Calculate the cement required for stabilization at 4% content.
Show hintHide hint
Use the formula: weight of soil * cement percentage.
Question 6.
During the unconfined compression test, if your stabilized soil sample achieves 120 psi, is this strength adequate? Why or why not?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the strength gain standard mentioned in the section.
