Question

A proposed embankment fill requires 8000 ?3 of compacted soil. The void ratio of
the compacted fill is specified as 0.70. Four borrow pits are available as described in the table
which list the respective void ratios of the soil and cost per cubic meter for moving the soil to the
proposed construction site. Make necessary calculations to select pit from which the soils should
be bought to minimize the cost. Assume specific gravity to be the same at all pits.

Void Ratio (e)
