An embankment for a highway 30 m wide and 1.5 m in compacted thickness is to be constructed from sandy soil trucked from a borrow pit. The water content of the sandy soil in a borrow pit is 15% and its void ratio is 0.69. The swell index is 1.2. The specification requires the embankment to be compacted to a dry unit weight of 18kN/m^3. Determine, for a 1-km length of embankment, the following;(d) Volume of the borrow pit material required considering swell. (e) The number of truckloads of sandy soil required for the construction. The full capacity of each truck is 22.2m3, and local government regulations require a maximum capacity of 90%. (f) The weight of dry soil in one truckload.
Situation 5: 12. 13. 14. 15. An embankment for a highway 30 m wide and 1.3 m in compacted thickness is to be constructed from a sandy soil trucked from a borrow pit. The water content of the sandy soil in the borrow pit is 17% and its void ratio is 0.75. The specification requires the embankment to be compacted to a dry unit weight of 19 kN/m³. The length of embankment is 3 km. Use G = 2.7. Compute the volume of borrow material required. Solve the total cost of fill if the earth fill from borrow site costs P200/m³ Calculate the volume of borrow material required if the specification requires a void ratio of 0.20. The moist unit weight of 0.00283 m³ of soil is 65 N. The water content is 13% and the specific gravity is 2.73. Solve the volume occupied by the water. The saturated unit weight and the water content in the field are found to be 18.55 kN/m³ and 33%, respectively. Determine the specific gravity of the soil solids.
