Question

A soil having a void ratio of 0.68 as it exists in a borrow pit is to be excavated and transported to a fill site where it will be compacted to a void ratio of 0.45. The volume of the fill required is 2500 m. Find the volume of the soil must be excavated from the borrow pit to furnish the required volume of fill. Calculate the total cost of the excavated material from the borrow pit, if the unit cost of material is 25 Dirhams per meter cube of fill.

The excavated material has a wet unit weight of 1,510 kg/ cu metre and a dry unit weight of 1,398 cu metre. The material will be used to build an embankment. According to specification, the dry unit weight of the compacted material should be 1,826 kg/ cu metre, with a water content of 12%. The net section of the embankment is 86,000 cu metre. What is the moisture content of the excavated soil? How many cu metre of excavation will be required to construct the embankment? Do we need to add water or not? If yes, what’s the volume of added water?
The soil in a borrow pit has a void ratio of 0.9. A fill-in place volume of 20,000 m3 is to be constructed with an in-place dry density of 18.84 kN/m3.
