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.

Box 2.12 Calculating settlement. Worked example A large landfill is planned on 10 m of normally consoli- midpoint can be taken as representative of the whole dated clays with an underlying rock stratum. The water table is at ground surface. Clay samples extracted from the stratum at an intermediate point at a depth of 5 m provide the following soil properties: saturated unit weight, Kat = 20 kN/m3, void ratio, e, = 0.8, and compression index, ç = 0.15. Determine the settlement of the clay layer if stratum: Final void ratio: a+ Aơ ep -e =c log 50+ 80 the increase in vertical stress due to the landfill load is = 0.8 -e =0.15 log- 50 = e- 0.74 Aơ = 80 kPa. Vertical unit strain: Solution: eo - er Ho 1+eo 0.8-0.74 The hypothesis of uniform loading over an infinite lateral extent, allows one-dimensional conditions to be assumed.

QI/ A contractor excavates 10,000 m soil at moist unit weight of 17.5 kN/m' and moisture content of 10% from a borrow pit and transports it to a project site. The project has an area of 20,000 m2 to be filled with this compacted soil. If the required dry unit weight and moisture content of the compacted soil are 18.3 kN/m and 12.5% (assume there is no soil loss during transportation and compaction), what is the thickness of the compacted soil and how much water needs to be added?
