A proposed embankment fill requires 7100 ft of compacted soil. The void ratio of the compacted fill is specified as 0.5. Four borrow pits are available as below, which list the respective void ratios of the soil and the cost per cubic feet for moving the soil to the proposed construction site. Make the necessary calculations to determine the total cost for each pit. Assume the specific gravity of soil solids, Gs to be the same at all pits. 1. Calculate the volume of solid (Vs) = ft3 Borrow Pit A: void ratio = 1.05 and the unit cost = $ 6 /ft3
2. Calculate the total cost to pay to Pit A = Borrow Pit B: void ratio = 0.61 and the unit cost = $ 7 /ft3
3. Calculate the total cost to pay to Pit B = Borrow Pit C: void ratio = 0.81 and the unit cost = $ 4 /ft3
4. Calculate the total cost to pay to Pit C = Borrow Pit D: void ratio = 0.73 and the unit cost = $6 /ft3
5. Calculate the total cost to pay to Pit D =
