- A landfill project requires 5000 m3 of compacted soil. The void index specified for the compacted landfill is 0.7. Three borrowing areas are available as indicated in Table 1, which relates the respective soil void rates and the cost per cubic meter of soil transport for the proposed construction site. Carry out the necessary calculations to select the borrowing area from which soil should be brought in to minimize costs. Assume Gs of 2.6 for all areas loan. Table 1 presents the data.arrow_forwardFor the community of 25,000 people, calculate how many years it would take to fill a football field 20 ft. deep, assuming a soil daily cover is used that accounts for 25% of the landfill volume.
