A road embankment needs 130,000 cu.m. to be completed. DPWH requires 96% compaction and the contractor is to provide soil from a borrow site. The optimum moisture content is 17% and the maximum dry density is 19.20 kN/m³. How many truckloads of borrow material are needed if the soil would have a specific gravity 2.6 and void ratio of 0.70 and the capacity of each truck is 9 cubic meter.
