The undisturbed soil at a borrow pit has a water content of 15%, void ratio of 0.

60 and
specific gravity of 2.70. The soil from the borrow pit is to be used for construction of an
embankment with finished volume of 40,000 m3. The specifications for embankment
require a water content of 18% and dry density of 1.76 g/cc. Calculate the 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?
