- The in situ moisture content of a soil is 18% and the moist unit weight is 16.5 kN/m3.The specific gravity of soil solids is 2.75. This soil is to be excavated and transported toa construction site for use in a compacted fill. If the specifications call for the soil tobe compacted to a minimum dry unit weight of 16.27 kN/m3 at the same moisturecontent of 18%, how many cubic meters of soil from the excavation site are needed toproduce 7651 m3 of compacted fill? How many 178 kN truckloads are needed totransport the excavated soilThe in situ moisture content of a soil is 18% and the moist unit weight is 16.5 kN/m3. The specific gravity of soil solids is 2.75. This soil is to be excavated and transported to a construction site for use in a compacted fill. If the specifications call for the soil to be compacted to a minimum dry unit weight of 16.27 kN/m3 at the same moisture content of 18%, how many cubic meters of soil from the excavation site are needed to produce 7,651 m3 of compacted fill? How many 178 kN truckloads are needed to transport the excavated soil?In a fill section of a construction site, 1500 m3 of moist compacted soils is required. The design water content of the fill is 15%, and the design unit weight of the compacted soil is 18.5 kN/m3. Necessary soil is brought from a borrow site, with the soil having 12% natural water content, 17.5 kN/m3 wet unit weight, and Gs = 2.65. How much (in cubic meters) of the borrow material is required to fill the construction fill section? And how heavy is it?

This soil is used in theconstruction of a compacted road base where the dry unit weight is 19.4 kN/m3 and the water content is 15%. Ifthe finished volume of the road base is 120,000 m3, (a) what would be the volume of the soil removed from theborrow pit? (b) How much water would be added to the soil from the borrow pit?A new construction site requires 1500 m3 of moist compacted soils. The design specification of the fill material specifies the following: Water Content 15% Unit weight of the compacted soil to be 18.5 kN/m3 Soil from borrow site has the following specification: Water Content 12% Unit weight of the borrow material: 17.5 kN/m3 Soil Specific Gravity: 2.6 How much (in cubic meters) of the borrow material is required to fill the construction fill section?The soil at a borrow area is at moisture content of 8.5%and unit weight of 17.5 kN/m3.

- In a fill section of a construction site, 1600 m³ of moist compacted soils are required. The design water content of the fill is 14.5%, and the design unit weight of the compacted soil is 17.8 kN/m³. Necessary soil is brought from a borrow site, with the soil having 11.5% natural water content, 17.2 kN/m³ wet unit weight, and G, = 2.64. How much (in cubic meters) of the borrow material is required to fill the construction fill section? And how heavy is it?4. Specifications require that a fill using borrow soil to be compacted at 95% of its standard proctor maximum dry density. Tests indicate that this maxi-mum is 19.5 kilo Newtons per cubic meter with 12 % moisture. The borrow material has a void ratio of 0.60. Compute the minimum dry and wet unit weight of the compacted soil, compute also the minimum volume of borrow material required to fill 1 cubic meter when compacted.GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING: The Undisturbed soil at a given borrow pit is found to have the following parameters. The water content is 15%, the void ratio is 0.60 and the specific gravity of the solids is 2.70. The soil from this borrow pit is to be used to construct a rolled fill having a finished volume of 50,000 yd3 . The soil is excavated by means of a shovel and dumped on trucks. When loaded to capacity these trucks are found to contain, on average, a net weight of wet soil equal to 13,000 lbs. In the construction process, the trucks dump their load on the fill, the material is spread and broken up, after which a sprinkler adds water until the water content is equal to 18%. The soil and water are thoroughly mixed by means of dicers (or other similar equipment) and then compacted until the dry unit weight γd=110 lbs/ft3. Helpful Conversions (3ft=1yd), (γw=62.4 lbs/ft3), (7.48gal/1ft3 ) a) Assuming that each load is a capacity load, how many truck loads are required to construct the…
