Q5-A proposed earth dam requires 7500 m³ of compacted soil with relative density of 94%, maximum void ratio of 0.73, minimum void ratio of 0.4 and specific gravity (Gs)= 2.67. Two borrow pits are available as described in the following table. Choose the best borrow pit with a minimum cost. Borrow Pit A B Degree of saturation % 82 100 Moisture content % 18.43 24.34 Cost ($/m³) 10 5
Help me please to solve this problem
Earth is required to be excavated from the borrow pits for buildingembankment as shown in the figure. The moisture unit weight ofthe borrow pits is 18 kN/m3 and its water content is 8%. Estimatethe quantity of earth required to be excavated per meter length ofembankment. The dry unit weight required for the embankment is15 kN/m3 with a moisture content of 10%. Assume the specificgravity of the solids as 2.67. Also determine the degree ofsaturation of the embankment and volume of the water in theembankment
Note: Given all questions are subbarts.. Kindly give me all right solutions with clear calculations. Thank you
