GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING: The Undisturbed soil at a given borrow pit is found to have the following parameters. The water content is 15%, the void ratio is 0.60 and the specific gravity of the solids is 2.70. The soil from this borrow pit is to be used to construct a rolled fill having a finished volume of 50,000 yd3 . The soil is excavated by means of a shovel and dumped on trucks. When loaded to capacity these trucks are found to contain, on average, a net weight of wet soil equal to 13,000 lbs. In the construction process, the trucks dump their load on the fill, the material is spread and broken up, after which a sprinkler adds water until the water content is equal to 18%. The soil and water are thoroughly mixed by means of dicers (or other similar equipment) and then compacted until the dry unit weight γd=110 lbs/ft3.
