The undisturbed soil at a borrow pit has a water content of 15 percent, void ratio of 0.60 and specific gravity of solids 2.70. The soil from the borrow pit is to be used for the construction of an embankment with a finished volume of 40,000 cu.m. The specifications for the embankment require a water content of 18 percent and a dry unit weight of 1.76 g/cc. Calculate quantity of soil required to be excavated from the borrow pit for the construction of the embankment. What would be its weight? What is the weight of the embankment soil? Send answer
You just saved me a lot of trouble sir !
Thanks
Glad to hear that
How did u come up with the answer 17.33 KN/m3, if u divide 200x10^-3 /0.015 the answer is 13.333333333.
Do you do tutoring? I need help on this subject.
YOU ARE DOING GOOD. MAKE SOME PRACTICAL VIDEOS
Good
Thanks

Superb sir.
Voice volume is very low!
Noted
please why did we not divide by the wet weight but rather the dry weight
Isn't water content = Ww/Wd?
It would be better if care taken for proper voice!!!
Sir please explain in hindi...
