1. A Sample of soil has a specific gravity of 2.70 is to be transported from a borrow pit site where the moist unit weight is 17.4 kN/m3 with water content of 0.158 a. If the embankment needs a dry unit weight of 18.2 kN/m3 with the same water content, determine the volume needed from the borrow pit to produce 2000 cubic meter of compacted fill. b. Determine the void ratio and degree of saturation of the material for the embankment. c. If a haul vehicle can carry 20 tons in a single trip, how many trips are required to transport the soil to the project site. Topic Soil Compaction, Show complete solution use 3 decimal places
