Question

A 2m high sandy fill material was placed loosely at a relative density of 47%. Laboratory studies indicated that the maximum and minimum void ratios of the fill material are 0.92 and 0.53, respectively. Construction specifications required that the fill be compacted to a relative density of 80%.

If Gs = 2.65 determine:

a) the dry unit weight of the fill before and after compaction
b) the final height of the fill after compaction

Answer 1

Answer:

2

Explanation:To find the solution we must first make the transformations to international units,

In this way:

Inches of length (L) to feet =

So we can identify the area by hour:

Once the area is identified, we now identify the number of passes required,

Passes required = Area x number of passes

We transform speed to international units

So we can identify the covered area

where

m = drum widht

p = efficiency

In this way we obtain the number of rollers given by:

No. of Rollers = Passes required / covered area

No of rollers = 48136/40269

No of rollers = 1.19, that is, 2
