A subsurface exploration report shows that the average water content of a fine-grained soil in a proposed borrow area is 24.5% and that its average natural dry density is 83.3 pcf. This soil is to be placed in a compacted fill with a dry density specified at 95.5 pcf. -How many cubic yards of borrow will be required to produce 86,000 yd3 of fill? -What is the shrinkage factor for the borrow?
