A contractor excavates 10,000 m3 soil at moist unitweight of 17.5 kN/m3 and moisture content of 10%from a borrow pit and transports it to a project site.The project has an area of 20,000 m2 to be filled withthis compacted soil. If the required dry unit weightand moisture content of the compacted soil are 18.3kN/m3 and 12.5% (assume there is no soil loss duringtransportation and compaction), what is the thicknessof the compacted soil and how much water needs to beadded? If there are 2% dry soil loss and 3% moisture loss, what is the thickness of the compacted soil and how much water neeeds to be added to maintain the compaction at the required moisture content?
