CTTTT The soil in a borrow pit has a void ratio of 0.90. A fill of volume 20000 m³ has to be constructed with an in place dry density of 19.2 kN/m³. If the owner of borrow pit to be compensated at rate 2.5 per cubic metre of excavation, determine the cost of compensation. Take G = 2.68, Y = 9.81 kN/m³.
The soil in a borrow pit has a void ratio of 0.9. A fill-in place volume of 20,000 m3 is to be constructed with an in-place dry density of 18.84 kN/m3. If the owner of borrow area is to be compensated at Rs 1.5 per cubic metre of excavation, determine the cost of compensation. (grain specific gravity = 2.7)

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.
A soil having a void ratio of 0.68 as it exists in a borrow pit is to be excavated and transported to a fill site where it will be compacted to a void ratio of 0.45. The volume of the fill required is 2500 m. Find the volume of the soil must be excavated from the borrow pit to furnish the required volume of fill. Calculate the total cost of the excavated material from the borrow pit, if the unit cost of material is 25 Dirhams per meter cube of fill.
• Problem 2. You are tasked with constructing a rolled fill with a total volume of 35,000 m^3. The borrow that you will use has soil with w=15%, bulk unit weight= 19.1 kN/m^3; Gs=2.75. The trucks that will move the soil have a capacity of 4.80 m^3. The compaction specification of your construction project are w=18% and dry unit weight=17.3 kN/m^3. a) Assuming that each load is at full capacity, how many truckloads are required to construct the fill? b) What should be the volume of the pit that remains in the borrow area, after all the material required from the fill has been removed? c) How many liters of water will have to be added per truck load, assuming that the moisture lost by evaporation, hauling, and excavation is negligible?

A pit of volume 16x104 cum is to be filled in such a way that its void ratio comes out to be 0.75. If the soil to be borrowed has void ratio of 1.5 then determine the volume that should be extracted.
Suppose that you are a Project Engineer on a Dam project. The volume of soil required at the dame site is Vd=100,000m3. The final void ratio (ed) is 0.80. Your boss, the Project Manager delegates to you the important decision of buying the earth fill from one of three suppliers. • Supplier X sells fill at OMR. 0.200/m3 with e = 0.90• Supplier Y sells fill at OMR. 0.120/m3 with e = 2.00• Supplier Z sells fill at OMR. 0.150/m3 with e = 1.60Evaluate and select the best supplier based on your knowledge about soil compaction.

A proposed earth embankment requires 50,000 cubic meters of soil. The soil will be compacted to a void ratio of 0.75 when it is placed in the embankment. There are four available borrow pits, designated A, B, C, and D. The void ratio of the soil in each pit and the cost per cubic meter for moving the soil to the proposed construction site are shown as follows: Borrow Pit Void Ratio Cost (PhP/m³) A 0.85 450 1.90 250 C 0.95 350 0.70 550 Determine which borrow pit is the most economical.
The excavated material has a wet unit weight of 1,510 kg/ cu metre and a dry unit weight of 1,398 cu metre. The material will be used to build an embankment. According to specification, the dry unit weight of the compacted material should be 1,826 kg/ cu metre, with a water content of 12%. The net section of the embankment is 86,000 cu metre. What is the moisture content of the excavated soil? How many cu metre of excavation will be required to construct the embankment? Do we need to add water or not? If yes, what’s the volume of added water?
