Question: Based on average values for swell and the angle of repose for dry sand, estimate the size of a conical spoil bank containing 5 0

Based on average values for swell and the angle of repose for dry
sand, estimate the size of a conical spoil bank containing 500BCY of
this sand.
Table 2-5. Typical soil weight and volume change characteristics*
-Exact values vary with grain size distribution, moisture, compaction, and other factors. Tests are required to determine exact values for a specific soil.
*Compacted rock is less dense than is in-place rock.
