Aggregates from a material storage site are required for the embankment of a roadway. The porosity of the aggregates at the storage is 75% and it is desired that these be compacted until a porosity of 20% is reached. The section of current interest for the embankment is 8m wide, 1.2m compacted thickness and 220m long. Compute the total cost if each truckload of aggregates to be transported will cost around 3550.00 and each truckload has a capacity of 7m3
