Pricing Excavation and Backfill

Backfill, in construction, is the activity of returning the soil and gravel that are removed during building construction or using them again to toughen and support the foundation of the building or any other structural component.

The soil borrow material to be used to construct a highway embankment has a wet unit weight of 15.4 kN/m³, a water content of 9%, and the specific gravity of the soil solids is 2.67. The specifications require that the soil be placed in the fill so that the dry unit weight is 17.9 kN/m³ and the water content be held to 20%. a. How many cubic meters of borrow are required to construct an embankment having a 612, 000-m³ net section volume? b. How many gallons of water must be added per cubic meter of borrow material assuming no loss by evaporation? C. If the compacted fill becomes saturated at constant volume, what will be the water content and unit weight?
The 20ft high clay fill shown below is proposed to be constructed over a layer of soft clay. A 5ft gravel layer is placed above the soft clay in order to facilitate drainage, assume it has the same unit weight as dense gravel. Answer the following: What is the magnitude of the settlement one year after the construction begins? What is the effective stress at Point A one year after construction begins if Point A is 25 feet below the GWT?
In May 1970, a 70 ft tall, 20 ft diameter concrete grain silo was constructed at a site in EasternCanada (Bozozuk, 1972b). This cylindrical silo, which had a weight of 183 tons, was supportedon a 3 ft wide, 4 ft deep ring foundation. The outside diameter of this foundation was 23.6 ft,and its weight was about 54 tons. There was no structural floor (in other words, the contents ofthe silo rested directly on the ground).The silo was then filled with grain. The exact weight of this grain is not known, but wasprobably about 533 tons. Unfortunately, the silo collapsed on September 30, 1970 as a resultof a bearing capacity failure.The soils beneath the silo are primarily marine silty clays. Using an average undrainedshear strength of 500 lb/ft2 , a unit weight of 80 lb/ft3 , and a groundwater table 2 ft below the ground surface, compute the ASD factor of safety against a bearing capacity failure, then com-ment on the accuracy of the analysis, considering the fact that a failure did occur.

A borrow site south of Harrisburg will be used to provide the material needed to construct 432,600 cy of embankment for the Harrisburg Expressway project. Soil testing has indicated the following unit weights: Bank - 102 pcf Loose - 85 pcf • Compacted - 118 pcf The contractor plans to use 14 cy on-highway dump trucks and has agreed with the owner of the borrow site property to a price of $1.25 per excavated cubic yard. 1. What is the cost of purchasing the borrow material? 2. How many truck loads must be hauled from the borrow site to the embankment site?
