No.2: A soil deposit is 10 feet deep and 50 feet wide. The soil has a water content equal to its liquid limit of 200 percent. A haul road is needed to be built across this very weak and very soft soil deposit. Gravel is to be placed and worked into this soil deposit to form a road. The gravel structure by itself will have a void ratio of 0.6. The road way is to be 10 feet wide. How much gravel will be needed to construct the road? Also, with the construction of the road is completed what would the fines content be of the soil within the gravel road mass after construction? The void ratio of the weak clayey soil does not change. The Specific Gravity of both the gravel and soil is 2.7.
