A compacted fill is to be constructed. Soil can be taken from two areas: Area A: e = 0.80, w = 16%, Gs = 2.65 Area B: e = 0.60, w = 12%, Gs = 2.65 The compacted volume of soil in the fill is 50,000 m3 with a water content of 20% and unit weight of 20 kN/m3. Find the ratio of the volume of soil to be excavated from Area A to that from Area B.
