Question

2. The soil borrow material to be used to construct a highway embankment has a mass unit weight of 110.0 pcf, a water content of 6%, and the specific gravity of the soil solids is 2.63. The contract specifications require that the soil be compacted to a dry unit weight of 122 pcf and the water content be held to 5.5%. a.
