An embankment of `1,00,000 m^3` volume has to be constructed by compacting the soil brought from excavation site. After compaction, dry unit weight of compacted soil (embankment) will be `16(KN)/M^3`. Also, bulk unit weight and water content of the soil at the excavation site are `12 (KN)/M^3` and `15%` respectively. Find the volume and weight of soil to be excavated from the excavation site. Take specific gravity of soil solid as `2.70`. [2073 Magh] [5]
