Your boss needs to recommend either the in-situ soil or the borrow material. Although you do not have much background on soil behavior, what is your recommendation?
In providing your recommendation, you want to consider constructability issues (such as ease of compaction, moisture content). Without doing any additional tests, and based on your experience with soils, what compaction conditions would you suggest to achieve low permeability? What compaction conditions would you recommend to reduce soil expansion (swelling)?

Avolume of 2.65 m3 of air in a rigid, insulated container fitted with a paddle wheel is initially at 264 k, 5.6 bar. the air receives 432 kj by work from the paddle wheel. assuming the ideal gas model with cv = 0.71 kj/kg • k, determine for the air the amount of entropy produced, in kj/k
