For constructing an embankment, the soil is transported from a borrow pit area using a truck which can carry seven cubic meters of soil at a time. Property Borrow Area Truck Compacted Field Bulk Density (g/cc) 1.652 1.145 1.815 Water Content (%) 8.12 6.03 14.11 8. Determine the quantity of soil to be excavated from the borrow pit, in ft³ for a compacted earth fill of 120 m3. 9. Compute for the number of truck loads of soil required to obtain 102 m of compacted fill.
