An embankment will be constructed from borrowed soil. The cross section of the embankment is shown in the picture below. the soil in the embankment has to compacted to a dry unit weight of 108 lb/ft^3 at the moisture content 14.5%. The borrowed soil is transported in 10 cubic yard truck loads. The borrowed soil has a void ratio of 1 1 Given the specific aravity of soil solids Gs

Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.
