- Suppose that you are a Project Engineer on a Dam project. The volume of soil required at the dame site is Vd=100,000m3. The final void ratio (ed) is 0.80. Your boss, the Project Manager delegates to you the important decision of buying the earth fill from one of three suppliers. • Supplier X sells fill at OMR. 0.200/m3 with e = 0.90• Supplier Y sells fill at OMR. 0.120/m3 with e = 2.00• Supplier Z sells fill at OMR. 0.150/m3 with e = 1.60Evaluate and select the best supplier based on your knowledge about soil compaction.30. The proposed embankment fill requires 8000m³of compacted soil. The void ratio of the compacted fill is specified as 0.70. Four borrow pits are available as described in the following table, which list the respective void ratios of the soil and the cost per cubic meter for moving the soil to the proposed construction site.
