PROBLEM NO. 1SOIL COMPACTION=Your company has won a contract to provide and compact the fillmaterial for an earth levee with the dimensions shown in ProblemNo.1 Figure (next slide). The levee fill is a silty clay soil to becompacted to at least 95% of maximum standard proctor of Yary16.65 kN/m³ at an Optimum Moisture Content (OMC) of 18%. Yourborrow pit has a silty clay with an in-situ moist density of17.60 kN/m³ 18% moisture content, and Gs = 2.68. When thesoil is excavated and loaded on to your trucks, the void ratio ofmaterial is e= 1.47. Your trucks can haul 11.5 m³ of materials pertrip.a. Determine the volume of fill required for the levee.b. Determine the volume required from the borrow pit.c. Determine the required number of trucks. Perspective view of the levee:Earth Levee135 m6 m12 m6 m18 mNote: The trapezoidal section is uniform all throughout the length (135 m)of the earth levee.

Given, γdry,fill = 16.65 kN/m3 OMC = 18% Gs = 2.68 Volume carried by truck per trip = 11.5 m3
