Problem 6. In a construction project, the excavated material has a dry unit weight (Ya) of 90 pcf and water content (o) of 12%. The embankment will be compacted to unit weight (y) of 110 pcf and water content (0) of 8%. The net section of the embankment is 100,000 cy. a) How many cubic yards of excavation will be required to construct the embankment? b) Determine the water requirements, if a water truck be needed on the job or will it be necessary to dry the material?
