The proposed grading at a project site will consist of 25,100 m3 of cut and 23,300 m3 of fill and will be a balanced earthwork job. The cut area has an average moisture content of 8.3%. The fill will be compacted to an average relative compaction of 93% based on a maximum dry unit weight of 18.3 kN/m3 and an optimum moisture content of 12.9% obtained from the modified Proctor test. Please round all the final answers in this problem to integers. The volume of water that will be required to bring these soils to the optimum moisture content is

the volume of water that will be required to bring these soils to the optimum moisture content is 1859 kL

Explanation:

Given that;

volume of cut = 25,100 m³

Volume of dry soil fill = 23,300 m³

Weight of the soil will be;

⇒ 93% × 18.3 kN/m³ × 23,300 m³

= 0.93 × 426390 kN 3

= 396,542.7 kN  

Optimum moisture content = 12.9 %

Required amount of moisture = (12.9 - 8.3)% = 4.6 %

So,

Weight of water required = 4.6% × 396,542.7 = 18241 kN

Volume of water required = 18241 / 9.81 = 1859 m³

Volume of water required = 1859 kL

Therefore, the volume of water that will be required to bring these soils to the optimum moisture content is 1859 kL

do you have any options?

i dont know but you should start brainstorming ideas like how would you post them
