- = Construction of an embankment needs 400,000 yd3 of fill. The fill should be compacted to at least 88% of the standard Proctor maximum dry density obtained in the lab, which is gammad_d,max : 128 pcf, but the contractor plans to exceed that by 2% to ensure passing quality control. The fill may be obtained from two companies (A and B) with the following profiles.

The water content is 15%, the void ratio is 0.60 and the specific gravity of the solids is 2.70. The soil from this borrow pit is to be used to construct a rolled fill having a finished volume of 50,000 yd3 . The soil is excavated by means of a shovel and dumped on trucks. When loaded to capacity these trucks are found to contain, on average, a net weight of wet soil equal to 13,000 lbs. In the construction process, the trucks dump their load on the fill, the material is spread and broken up, after which a sprinkler adds water until the water content is equal to 18%.
