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.

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?
