Question: The soil in a stockpile has a moisture content of 8 . 5 0 % and a unit weight of 1 7 . 5 kN

The soil in a stockpile has a moisture content of 8.50% and a unit weight of 17.5 kN/m3. This soil is used in the construction of a compacted road base where the required dry unit weight is 19.5 kN/m3 at a moisture content of 14.0%. If the finished volume of the road base is 120,000 m3, what would be the total volume of soil, in cubic meters, requiredfrom the stockpile? How much water, in cubic meters, would need to be added to the soil from the stockpile?
