Usually a question like this includes a borrow scenario where you're excavating, hauling, and placing material from one site to another while tracking the material's compaction and moisture content.
To clarify, sac's referring to a fill volume calculation, which is different from consolidation. Consol problems typically knvolve computing the settlement of an in situ soil layer as a function of surcharge, cv, drainage height, and time.
