2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define void ratio in your own words.
Think about how soil is made up of both solids and spaces.
What happens to void ratio as effective stress increases?
Consider how load impacts the soil structure.
The virgin compression line is represented by which path on the graph?
Think about where significant compression begins.
True or False: The reloading curve lies below the unloading curve.
Recall what happens during reloading.
Given a soil sample's initial void ratio is 0.8, with an effective stress of 50kPa. If the sample undergoes virgin compression to an effective stress of 90kPa, calculate the new void ratio assuming a linear relationship.
You will need to determine the change based on effective stress increases.
Discuss how knowledge of hysteresis in soil can influence the design of a foundation for a high-rise building.
Consider safety and stability in engineering design.
