Two scrapers will deliver to the project 650 LCM per hour of fill material. The rolling width of the roller is 1.2m. 6 passes at 4 km/hr are required to obtain the required density. The fill material will be placed in 0.3m compacted lifts. Load factor (LF) = 0.8 and shrinkage factor = 0.85. Assume a 50-min job efficiency, determine the number of rollers required to support the scraper operation.
Q1: A self- propelled tamping foot compactor will be used to compact a fill being constructed of clay material. Field tests have shown that the required density can be achieved with four passes of the roller operating at an average speed of 1.5 mph, the compacted lift will have a thickness of 5 inch, the roller width is 7ft, one bcy equal 0.83 compacted cubic yards, the roller production estimated for the project is 510 bey/hour. How many rollers will be required to maintain this production.
