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.

30. The proposed embankment fill requires 8000m³of compacted soil. The void ratio of the compacted fill is specified as 0.70. Four borrow pits are available as described in the following table, which list the respective void ratios of the soil and the cost per cubic meter for moving the soil to the proposed construction site. Assume that the specific gravity is the same at all pits, which among the pits should be bought to minimize the cost? Borrow Pit Void Ratio Cost (P/m³) A 0.82 400 B 0.9 450 1.1 250 D 0.78 600

For the beam shown, the magnitude of the concentrated load is P = 11 kN, the magnitude of the couple is MB = 190 kN-m, and the beam lengths are a = 4.9 m and b= 14.7 m. (a) derive equations for the shear force V and the bending moment M for any location in the beam. Place the origin at point. A. (b) use the derived functions to plot the shear-force and bending-moment diagrams for the beam. Use your diagrams to determine the magnitudes of the maximum shear force and the maximum bending moment. Note that answers may be positive or negative. Here, "maximum" refers to the largest magnitude value, but you should enter your shear force and bending moment with the correct sign, using the sign convention presented in Section 7.2 of the textbook. If the magnitudes of the largest positive and largest negative values are the same, enter a positive number. A MB B b C X
