= Construction of an embankment needs 400,000 yd3 of fill. The fill should be compacted to at least 88% of the standard Proctor maximum dry density obtained in the lab, which is gammad_d,max : 128 pcf, but the contractor plans to exceed that by 2% to ensure passing quality control. The fill may be obtained from two companies (A and B) with the following profiles. Company A Distance from borrow pit to embankment: 25 miles Cost of haul ($/yd3-mile): 0.50 Cost of fill material ($/yd3): 1.50 Borrow soil moisture content: 16% Specific gravity of solids: 2.70 Degree of saturation: 70% Company B Distance from borrow pit to embankment: 30 miles Cost of haul ($/yd3-mile): 0.40 Cost of fill material ($/yd3): 1.40 Borrow soil moisture content: 18% Specific gravity of solids: 2.65 Degree of saturation: 58% The total cost of haulage by company A (million $) The total cost of haulage by company B (million $) The relative compaction, CR, should account for the contractor's plan to exceed the minimum…

Downvote for the wrong answers Tamping foot compactors with an optimal production of 428 ccy/hr will be used to compact a 75,000 ccy fill. The shrinkage factor of the soil being used is 0.83. A single scraper with an optimal production of 510 bcy/hr will be used to haul the soil to the fill. a. How many compactors should be used to maintain the scraper's production? b. The compactors being used for this operation cost $90/hr while the scraper costs $110/hr. Assuming a 45-min hour efficiency for all equipment, what will the total cost of this operation be?

• Problem 2. You are tasked with constructing a rolled fill with a total volume of 35,000 m^3. The borrow that you will use has soil with w=15%, bulk unit weight= 19.1 kN/m^3; Gs=2.75. The trucks that will move the soil have a capacity of 4.80 m^3. The compaction specification of your construction project are w=18% and dry unit weight=17.3 kN/m^3. a) Assuming that each load is at full capacity, how many truckloads are required to construct the fill? b) What should be the volume of the pit that remains in the borrow area, after all the material required from the fill has been removed? c) How many liters of water will have to be added per truck load, assuming that the moisture lost by evaporation, hauling, and excavation is negligible?

Provide your own perspective as to why soil volatilization calculations are prone to error and/or why in many cases these calculations yield only order-of-magnitude estimations of volatilization rates. Support your answer by indicating and briefly explaining at least two reasons why these models or calculations are still considered necessary.
