The soil for backfilling comes from a borrow pit. The water content of the soil in the borrow pit is 15% and its void ratio is 0.69. The swell index index is 1.2. The specification requires the backfill material to be compacted to a dry unit weight of 16 kN/m^3 1. What is the number of truckloads of soil required for the footing foundation? 2. What is the weight of dry soil in one truck load? Please answer.
