An embankment for a highway 30m wide and 1.5m in compacted thickness is to be constructed from a sandy

Soil trucked from a borrow pit. The water content of the soil in the borrow pits 15%,its void ratio is 0.69 and the grains specific gravity is 2.7. The specification requires the embankment to be compacted to a dry unit weight of 18kN/m3. Determine, for 1kmlength of the embankment, the following:

The volume of the sandy soil from the borrow pit required to construct the embankment.

Calculate the total cost of transporting the required soil from the borrow pit to the embankment f the cost of transporting 1m3of soil is 1.5 OMR.
