Given: A small hydraulic excavator will be used to dig a trench in common earth (bucket fill factor = 0.95). The minimum trench size is 0.6 m wide by 2.5 m deep. The excavator bucket available is 0.75 m wide and has a heaped capacity of 0.60 m³. The maximum digging depth of the excavator is 5.0 m. The average swing angle is expected to be 90°. Use the average value for trench production adjustment factor in Table 5. Required: Estimate the hourly trench production in linear meters if job efficiency is 70%. Hint: Start by determining the bank volume per meter of trench that would be excavated.

List and briefly explain 3 advantages of pipe earthing as applied to earthing systems design
A 12” water main is being installed along the shoulder of a rural road. The excavation for the water main will be 4 feet deep and 3.5 feet wide. The soil is estimated to have a swell factor of 0.80 and an angle of repose of 31 degrees. If the stockpile will start 2 feet from the edge of the excavation, and the distance from the edge of the trench to the limits of disturbance is 20 feet, what is the estimated clear space between the far toe and of the stockpile and the limits of disturbance?
Q.2 Consider a flat surface on which you have to dig approx. 100m below the ground surface for an underground subway station. The strata is hard soil/rock. The site can only be accessed from the ground surface. Propose a drilling and hauling equipment if the dumping site is within 50m. Also write the reason of choosing the specific equipment.

You are a civil engineer who has been given the task to monitor the excavation of a road construction. It is deemed viable that it typically takes half-an-hour to excavate a cubic meter of soil using a typical backhoe which applies to soils within a two-meter depth from its NGL. This parameter includes hauling, piling, and other small movements within the area bound for excavation. Given that the volume to be excavated is 40m³ in your specified road station using only one backhoe, determine the exact total cost for this setup if the backhoe rent costs Php1800 per hour which includes its gasoline and other daily maintenance costs. The hourly-wage paid to these two workers at every end of their daily shift is taken as Php111 for the backhoe operator and Php42 for the backhoe spotter. For work-life balance, you always make sure that there's only eight-working-hours per day with no overtimes and no work during Sundays for all your workers. Note that the total cost does not include your…
