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.

Question

10,000 cubic feet of soil is excavated for a construction. The dry unit weight of the soil is 102.3 pcf. After excavation, the soil loosened and the void ratio of the soil became 0.874. What is the volume of the excavated soil in cubic feet?

Specific gravity of the soil is 2.6.
