You've been tasked with deriving a site-specific shrinkage factor for earthwork planning on your firm's current project. You have completed a test pit (shallow excavation of quantifiable volume) in the planned on-site borrow area. The excavated earth was loaded into dump trucks and weighed at a nearby truck scale, to measure the total moist weight of the earth removed from the test pit. The rectangular cuboid-shaped test pit had side dimensions of 10 ft by 6 ft by 3 ft, and contained a total excavated earth moist mass of 10.35 tons. The owner's geotechnical investigation report contains a laboratory test report indicating that the on- site borrow soil will attain a moist unit weight of 130.0 pcf (i.e., lbs/CF), when compacted to the minimum allowable compaction specification. 8. What is the on-site borrow soil's bank unit weight (nearest 1 lbs/BCY)? 9. What is the anticipated % net decrease in volume for the on-site borrow soil in a compacted condition (nearest 0.1%)? 10.

After final consolidation was achieved, the fill got removed and a circular footing, 5.5m in diameter was constructed at 1m below the ground surface. Estimate: i. Total consolidation settlement due to fill. Total consolidation settlement after 85 days of fill application. iii. Total heave (expansion) of the soil surface after of the fill was removed. iv.
