Phase-Diagram-Of-Soil

`6` Earth is required to be excavated from borrow pits for building an embankment. The unit weight of undisturbed soil in wet condition `18 (KN)/M^3` and water content is `8%`. In order to build a 4 m high embankment with top width `2 m` and side slopes `1:1`, estimate quantity of earth required to be excavated per meter length of embankment. The dry density required in embankment is `15 (KN)/M^3` with a moisture content of `10%`. Assume specific gravity of solid is `2.67`. Also, determine void ratio and degree of saturation of soil in both undisturbed and remoulded states.

Volume of earth to be excavated=`21.55 M^3` per meter length

Undisturbed state:

`e=0.57`

`S_r=37.4%`

Remoulded state:

`e=0.75`

`S_r=35.6%`
