An asphalt plant can produce 360 tph. A project requires paving individual 11 ½ ft lanes with a 2-in lift averaging 110 lb/sy-in. What average paver speed will match the plant production? The haul road limits are 15 tons per dump truck. How many trucks will be required if the total hauling cycle time is 55 min?

A 25 km long, 8.001 km wide, 2-lane highway is to be paved with 6.00cm thick layer of asphalt.A fleet of 4 dump trucks are to be employed each with an empty mass of 22metric tons and a carrying capacity of 26 cubic metres. Asphalt with a density of 2.322g/m^3 will be used. Determine a) The number of dump truck loads required b) If it takes 4 hours for each truck to deliver a load, how long in day and hours will it take the trucks to deliver all the asphalt? C) The gross mass of each truck.
A road can be paved with either asphalt or concrete. Concrete costs $15,000/km and lasts 20 years. What is the maximum that should be spent on asphalt if it only lasts 10 years? Annual maintenance costs for both pavements are $500/km. MARR = 12%. Demonstrate through real life examples a bridge management software you know.
Estimate the hourly production of a 4 CY wheel loader moving sand and gravel a distance of 150 feet up a 5% grade. The surface of the haul is loose sand and gravel. The job efficiency is 45 minutes per hour.
A loader operating at 107 cy/hr has 2.5-cy heaped capacity bucket and has a 1.2-min load cycle. The trucks have 11-cy capacity and a 30-minute dump + haul + return time. A 95% fill factor applies to the loader. The project works 50-minute hours. Determine the job production for 7 trucks. A 94.70 cy/hr B 95.55 cy/hr C 93.70 cy/hr D 96.70 cy/hr
An asphalt paving crew is used to pave a road 7,000 feet long. The road is 36 feet wide and the paving machine can pave a 12-foot-wide strip of road during each pass. The machine paves 12 lineal feet of 12-foot-wide road per minute. Two lifts of asphalt are needed to pave the road. After completing a pass, it takes the crew 10 minutes to turn the paving machine around and get ready for the next pass. The crew consists of a foreperson, seven operators, and a laborer. Using a system efficiency of 50 minutes per hour, determine the number of labor hours required to place 1 lineal foot of road 12 feet wide. a. Determine the number of passes. b. Determine travel time. c. Determine productivity rate
