GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING: The Undisturbed soil at a given borrow pit is found to have the following parameters. The water content is 15%, the void ratio is 0.60 and the specific gravity of the solids is 2.70. The soil from this borrow pit is to be used to construct a rolled fill having a finished volume of 50,000 yd3 . The soil is excavated by means of a shovel and dumped on trucks. When loaded to capacity these trucks are found to contain, on average, a net weight of wet soil equal to 13,000 lbs. In the construction process, the trucks dump their load on the fill, the material is spread and broken up, after which a sprinkler adds water until the water content is equal to 18%. The soil and water are thoroughly mixed by means of dicers (or other similar equipment) and then compacted until the dry unit weight γd=110 lbs/ft3. Helpful Conversions (3ft=1yd), (γw=62.4 lbs/ft3), (7.48gal/1ft3 ) a) If the fill should become saturated at some time subsequent to construction and does not change…

9- The bulk unit weight and water content of a soil at a borrow pit are 17.2 kN/ml and 8.2% respectively. A highway fill is being constructed using the soil from this borrow at a dry unit weight of 18.05 kN/m³ • Find the volume of the borrow pit that would make one cubic meter of the finished highway fill. Answer: 1.136 m3
Your company has won a contract to provide and compact the fill material for an earth levee (an embankment built to prevent overflow of a river), with the dimensions shown below. The levee fill is a silty clay soil to be compacted to atleast 95.1% of maximum standard Proctor of dry unit weight= 109lb/cu.ft at an OMC of 18.6%. Your borrow pit has a silty clay with an in-situ moist density of 112.6lb/cu.ft at 18.1% water content and a Gs = 2.679. When the soil is excavated and loaded on to your trucks, the void ratio of the material is e = 1.46. Your trucks can haul 401 cu.ft of material per trip. DETERMINE THE FF AND SHOW COMPELETE SOLUTION. ALL FINAL ANSWER WILL BE IN 3 DECIMAL PLACES. 1. Determine the volume of fill required for the levee in cu.ft 2. Determine the volume required from the borrow pit in cu.ft 3. Determine the required number of truck loads.
