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.

An embankment for a highway 30 m wide and 1.5 m in compacted thickness is to be constructed from sandy soil trucked from a borrow pit. The water content of the sandy soil in a borrow pit is 15% and its void ratio is 0.69. The swell index is 1.2. The specification requires the embankment to be compacted to a dry unit weight of 18kN/m^3. Determine, for a 1-km length of embankment, the following;(d) Volume of the borrow pit material required considering swell. (e) The number of truckloads of sandy soil required for the construction. The full capacity of each truck is 22.2m3, and local government regulations require a maximum capacity of 90%. (f) The weight of dry soil in one truckload.

A layer of fine sand exists over a stratum of impervious rock. The sand layer is 6.25m thick. The site is flooded and the water surface is 1.25m above the surface of the sand. It is proposed to excavate a very wide ditch through the site and to remove sand to a depth of 2.5m below the existing surface of the sand. One side of the excavation is to be supported by sheet piling driven to a depth of 4.4m below the existing surface of the sand. Draw a flow net and determine the seepage in m³/min per m length for the sand with a permeability of 0.18m/sec.
