Soil
Embankment is to be built with 15 km length of proposed road with 2 m height of road embankment. The cross sectional area of embankment and distance of borrow pit from embankment are 30 m² and 10 km respectively. Soil is to be compacted to 97 % of the max dry density. Information given as follows: (a) Results from laboratory compaction test: Max dry density-1.80 Mg/m³ Optimum water content=12% (b) Borrow material: Dry density-1.70 Mg/m² Water content-8% Calculate volume of additional water required for the entire volume of the embankment Final answer should be = 27, 486 m³
