Standard proctor compaction test results on a sandy clay (35% sand, 55% clay, and 10% silt), taken from a borrow pit, are given in the following table. The sandy clay in the borrow pit has a porosity of 65% and a water content of 5.2%. A highway embankment is to be constructed using this soil. (a) Specify the compaction (dry unit weight and water content) to be achieved in the field. Justify your specification. (b) How many cubic meters of borrow pit soil are needed for 1 cubic meter of highway fill? (c) How much water per unit volume is required to meet the specification? (d) How many truckloads of soil will be required for a 100,000 m3 highway embankment? Each truck has a load capacity of 22.5 m3 and regulations required a maximum load capacity of 90%. (e) Determine the cost for 100,000 m3 of compacted soil based on the following: Purchase and load borrow pit material at site, haul 2 km round-trip, and spread with 200 HP dozer = $15/m3; extra mileage charge for each km =…

The soil borrow material to be used to construct a highway embankmenthas a density of 1570 kg/m3, a water content of 6%, and the relative density of soilsolids is 2.65 . The specifications require the soil to be compacted to a dry density of1794 kg/m3 and the water content held to 13%.a. How many BCM are required to construct a 176,306 m3 embankment?b. How many liters of water must be added to the borrow material, on a cubic meterbasis, assuming no loss by evaporation?c. If the compacted embankment becomes saturated at constant volume, what will bethe water content and the density of the soil?
Three sets of compaction data are given below. Assume that the density of solids is ps= 2.64 Mg/m', and answer and/or compute the following: a) Plot the compaction curves of each in Excel, along with the zero air voids (ZAV) curve.

A proposed earth fill for a construction of a US highway requires 371,000 cubic feet of soil. The soil will be compacted to a void ratio of 0.75 when it will be placed on the fill. There are 5 borrow pits (see table below). Which barrow pit will have the highest volume of soil for the project and what is the volume in cubic meters? Which borrow pit will provide the least cost, and how much is it?
An earth dam require a total of 150 cubic meter of soil compacted with a bulk unit weight of 18.5KN/m^3 and moisture content of 10%, the specific gravity of solid particles is 2.55. Choose two out of the three borrow pits, if borrow pit 3 is automatically one of the choice. Choose the most economical choice.
