2. The soil borrow material to be used to construct a highway embankment has a mass unit weight of 110.0 pcf, a water content of
6%, and the specific gravity of the soil solids is 2.63. The contract specifications require that the soil be compacted to a dry unit weight of 122 pcf and the water content be held to 5.5%. a. How many cubic yards of borrow are required to construct an embankment having a 245,000-cy net section volume

Newton per square meter (N/m2)
Explanation:
Required
Unit of ultimate tensile strength
Ultimate tensile strength (U) is calculated using:
The units of force is N (Newton) and the unit of Area is m^2
So, we have:
or
<em>Hence: (c) is correct</em>
Answer: hello the complete question is attached below
answer:
A) Group symbol = SW
B) Group name = well graded sand , fine to coarse sand
C) It is not a clean sand given that ≤ 50% particles are retained on No 200
Explanation:
<u>A) Classifying the soil according to USCS system</u>
( using 2nd image attached below )
<em>description of sand</em> :
The soil is a coarse sand since ≤ 50% particles are retained on No 200 sieve, also
The soil is a sand given that more than 50% particles passed from No 4 sieve
The soil can be a clean sand given that fines ≤ 12%
The soil can be said to be a well graded sand because the percentage of particles passing through decreases gradually over time
Group symbol as per the 2nd image attached below = SW
B) Group name = well graded sand , fine to coarse sand
C) It is not a clean sand given that ≤ 50% particles are retained on No 200
