SITUATION 5: Specifications for a proposed earth fill require that the soil be compacted to 95% of Standard proctor dry density. Tests on glacial till borrow indicated ymax = 19.51 KN/m' at an optimum water content of 12%. The borrow material in its natural condition has a void ratio of 0.60. If the sp. Gr. is 2.65, Compute the void ratio of the soil. 12. Compute the volume of solids. 13. Find the maximum volume of the borrow required to make one cu m of acceptable compacted fill?
