Question 1: Earth whose in situ weight is 112 pcf, whose loose weight is 95 pcf and whose compacted weight is 120 pcf is placed in a fill at the rate of 250 cy/hr, measured as compacted earth. The thickness of the compacted layers is 6 inch. A compactor with a roller drum width of 84 inch is used to compact the material at a speed of 3.5 mph. Assume a 55 min hour operating efficiency. Determine the number of rollers required to provide the necessary compaction rate if eight drum passes are specified for each layer of earth. O 1 Roller O 3 Rollers O O Roller O 2 Rollers

Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.
