The foundation for the Pequest Fill would require 6.625 million cubic yards of fill material. This was far more than could be provided by classic cut-and-fill techniques, which require a relatively even balance between the amount of dirt and rock material that is removed from an area of the right-of-way to provide a cut through a hill and the ...
Stone, 16 cubic feet (0.453 m 3) Salt, 42 US bushels (1.480 m 3) Lime, 40 US bushels (1.410 m 3) Coke, 28 US bushels (0.99 m 3) Wheat, 20 US bushels (0.705 m 3) The nearest thing to a standard cubic ton seems to be the "timber" cubic ton (40 cubic feet or 1.133 cubic metres) which is used by freight transport operators in the US.

For practical purposes the displacement ton (DT) is a unit of volume, 35 cubic feet (0.9911 m 3), the approximate volume occupied by one ton of seawater (the actual volume varies with salinity and temperature). [16] It is slightly less than the 224 imperial gallons (1.018 m 3) of the water ton (based on distilled water).
In surface mining, stripping ratio or strip ratio refers to the amount of waste (or overburden) that must be removed to release a given ore quantity. [1] [2] It is a number or ratio that express how much waste is mined per unit of ore.
the soil's hydraulic conductivity (Ka and Kb) by measurements; the depth of the bottom of the aquifer (Di) the design drain spacing (L) can be found from the equation in dependence of the drain depth (Dd) and drain radius (r). Drainage criteria
As the name suggests, an acre-foot is defined as the volume of one acre of surface area to a depth of one foot.. Since an acre is defined as a chain by a furlong (i.e. 66 ft × 660 ft or 20.12 m × 201.17 m), an acre-foot is 43,560 cubic feet (1,233.5 m 3).
Detroit's Ford Field stadium is filled with more than 500 truckloads of dirt to build a racetrack for the Monster Energy AMA Supercross on Saturday.
The specific weight, also known as the unit weight (symbol γ, the Greek letter gamma), is a volume-specific quantity defined as the weight W divided by the volume V of a material: = / Equivalently, it may also be formulated as the product of density, ρ, and gravity acceleration, g: = Its unit of measurement in the International System of Units (SI) is newton per cubic metre (N/m 3), with ...
