Yar (in lb/ft³) agair
The results of a standard Proctor test follow. Determine the maximum dry unit weight
of compaction and the optimum moisture content. Also, determine the void ratio and
the degree of saturation at the optimum moisture content. Given: G₁ = 2.68.

A field unit weight determination test for the soil described in Problem 4.4 yieldea
the following data: moisture content = 10.2% and moist unit weight
Determine the relative compaction.
= 106 lb/ft³.
The in situ moisture content of a soil is 18% and the moist unit weight is 105 lb/ft³.
The specific gravity of soil solids is 2.75. This soil is to be excavated and transported
to a construction site for use in a compacted fill. If the specifications call for the soil
to be compacted to a minimum dry unit weight of 103.5 lb/ft at the same moisture
content of 18%, how many cubic yards of soil from the excavation site are needed to
produce 10,000 yd³ of compacted fill? How many 20-ton truckloads are needed to
transport the excavated soil?
A proposed embankment fill requires 5000 m³ of compacted soil. The void ratio of
the compacted fill is specified as 0.7. Four borrow pits are available, as described in
the following table, which lists the respective void ratios of the soil and the cost per
cubic meter for moving the soil to the proposed construction site. Make the necessary
calculations to select the pit from which the soil should be bought to minimize the
cost. Assume G, to be the same at all pits.
