Re: Need some math help

Depending on the type of dirt that you use to backfill the pool will create a soil shrinkage adjustment that you have to make due to compaction of the dirt. The dirt delivered in the dump truck will be "loose yards". If the material is compressable, it can shrink up to 30% when you compact the dirt, it will increase your needed import dirt quantity by up to 30%.
