Answer:
The answer is 2217.32m³
Explanation:
Given that:
Vā Ā = (15 + 5/2) * 3 * 100 = 3000 m³
rā = 21.7kN/m3
w (water) = 11.4%.
eā (void ratio) = 0.47
Vā = ?
Now,
rdā = Ā rā/1 + wā = 21.7/1 +(11.4/100)
= 19.47 kN/m3
Thus,
rdā = rā/1 + eā = 21.7/1+ 0.47 = 14.76 kN/m3
Then,
Vā/Vā = rdā/ rdā
Vā = 3000 * 14.76/19.97
Vā = 2217.32m³
Therefore, volume that should be excavated from the borrow pit is 2217.32m³
