Calculation of Settlement
The vertical displacement of the structural foundation due to the loading from the superstructure is known as settlement. It is due to the reduction of air voids present in the soil. The amount of vertical displacement depends on the bearing capacity of …
Question
An embankment is to be constructed at a 5% moisture content. Material will be placed at the rate of 300 ccy/hr. The specified dry weight of the compacted fill is 2,700 lb/ccy. How many Ibs of water must be dried each hour to decrease the moisture content of the material from 20% to 5% by weight?
