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?
