The field capacity and permanent wilting point for a given 15 kg of soil are 36% and 13%, respectively. At a given time, the soil was put in an oven at 100 °Cfor 24 hrs to measure its water content, its weight after drying was found to be 11.8 kg. The farmer irrigates the soil with 270 mm depth of water and it was found to be there is 30% of the water was wasted. Assuming bulk specific gravity of the soil as 1.6, determine the effective depth of the root zone of this soil.

In natural state, a soil weighs 3500 lb/cy. The same soil has a load factor of 0.83. a. What is the unit weight of the soil in its loose state? b. A contractor has seven (7) Caterpillar 725 articulating trucks available to haul this same soil to a project that requires 55,000 ccy of the soil. In the compacted state, the soil weighs 4300 lb/cy. Each Caterpillar 725 has a maximum haul capacity of 17 lcy. Currently the project schedule only accounts for each truck hauling no more than 550 loads to the site. Based on the maximum capacity of the Caterpillar 725, can this schedule requirement be met?
