Embankment fill is to be compacted at a density of 18KN/m. The soil of the borrow area is at a density of 15KN/m. What is the estimated no of trips of 6m³ capacity truck for hauling the soil required for compacting 100m³ fill of the embankment? (Assume that the soil in the borrow area and that in the embankment are at same moisture content)
