A borrow site south of Harrisburg will be used to provide the material needed to construct 432,600 cy of embankment for the Harrisburg Expressway project. Soil testing has indicated the following unit weights: • Bank - 102 pcf Loose - 85 pcf • Compacted - 118 pcf The contractor plans to use 14 cy on-highway dump trucks and has agreed with the owner of the borrow site property to a price of $1.25 per excavated cubic yard. 1. What is the cost of purchasing the borrow material? 2. How many truck loads must be hauled from the borrow site to the embankment site?

Explain the General Principles of Compaction ?
Where sand fill projects are concerned, why does vibro-compactors are typically selected?
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.
Aggregates from a material storage site are required for the embankment of a roadway. The porosity of the aggregates at the storage is 75% and it is desired that these be compacted until a porosity of 20% is reached. The section of current interest for the embankment is 8m wide, 1.2m compacted thickness and 220m long. Compute the total cost if each truckload of aggregates to be transported will cost around 3550.00 and each truckload has a capacity of 7m3.
Describe about the Applications of compaction grouting.
A road section is 600 m long (20 Stations). The cut and fill volumes are to be computed between each station. The table below lists the station numbers, the end area values (m?) between each station that are in cut (column 2) and that are in fill (column 3). Material in a consolidate (known shrinkage), and for this road section, is 10 fill section will as percent. Determine the accumulated volumes?

22. Calculate the compacted cubic yards per hour if a com- pactor with a 5-ft drum width travels at 3 miles per hour over a 10-in. lift of aggregate base course with 4 passes required to meet density specifications under average operating conditions.
Define the Purkaystha and Char reduction factor method ?
Name two types of projects, where you would use Standard compaction effort a) city streets and county streets b)retail parking lot and highway c) thick sections of fill and school driveways d)none of the above
Explain the difference between a natural hydraulic trap and an engineered hydraulic trap landfill. Use sketches to illustrate your answer.
A construction site receives fill materials from three sources A, B, and C, providing15%, 25% and 61% of the total materials. When you received the materials from A,B, and C, the probabilities that you do not find proper moisture are 2%, 6%, 3%. Ifone dump truck is sampled and the material does not have the proper moisture,what is the probability that it came from source A?
