Concept explainers

Dimensional homogeneity

The term dimensional homogeneity means that in an equation, the dimensions of each term on both sides are equal, which means the dimensions of the left-hand side (LHS) of an equation are similar to the dimensions of the right-hand side (RHS). For a dimensionally homogeneous equation, the powers of fundamental dimensions will be identical on both sides of the equation.

Suppose that you are a Project Engineer on a Dam project. The volume of soil required at the dame site is Vd=100,000m3. The final void ratio (ed) is 0.80. Your boss, the Project Manager delegates to you the important decision of buying the earth fill from one of three suppliers. • Supplier X sells fill at OMR. 0.200/m3 with e = 0.90• Supplier Y sells fill at OMR. 0.120/m3 with e = 2.00• Supplier Z sells fill at OMR. 0.150/m3 with e = 1.60Evaluate and select the best supplier based on your knowledge about soil compaction.
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.
A borrow pit’s soil is being used as earth fill at a construction project. The in-place dry density of the borrow pit soil is known to be 1,825 kg/m3. The job contract requires the soil at the construction site to be compacted to adry density of 1,975 kg/m3. The project requires 12,000 m3 of compacted soil fill. What volume of soil will the earthmoving contractor be required to obtain from the borrow pit to provide the necessary volume of compacted fill?
An approach road for a bridge needs 60000 m3 of soil compacted to a void ratio of 0.7. There are two borrow pits A and B from where the required soil can be taken and transported to the site. The borrow pit A has void ratio 0.85 and borrow pit B has void ratio 0.95. If the cost of excavation of soiland transportation is Rs. 20/10 m3for area A and Rs. 22/10 m3for area B, which of the borrow area is more economical? G=2.67

Backhoe excavator worked for 45 hours to excavate and stock the required earth volume to be loaded by apayloader to a fleet of 5-dump trucks, which haul the earth to site where it is compacted on a shrinkage factorof 20%. Each truck has a total cycle time of 15 minutes, assuming it does not have to wait in line to be loaded.The earth has a percent swell of 25%. The job requires a compacted volume of 30,000 m 3 done by a road grader,roller compactor and water tanker in 70 hours. Calculate the direct equipment total cost spent considering thefollowing? a. Payloader capacity – 220 m 3 (bank volume) of common earth per hour.b. Dump trucks capacity – 20 m 3 (loose volume) each unitc. Payloader rental rate – ₱650/hourd. Dump truck rental rate – ₱180/houre. Backhoe rental rate – ₱800/hourf. Road grader rental rate = ₱ 550/hrg. Roller compactor rental rate – ₱750/hourh. Water tanker rental rate – ₱ 120/hr
You have been hired as a project Engineer for a development company in Namugongo to build 610 housing units. Since the original ground is low, you need fill material to raise the ground level. Your estimated fill requirements are 700,000m3 with a void ratio of 0.46. the insitu material at the borrow pit has a void ratio of 0.39 where as the material dumped in trucks has a void ration of 0.71. How many trucks will you need, if each truck carries 10m3? i will need all the work outs in full and well explained
2: Děšign and Analysis - make sure to show all calculations, correct units and box answers for all problems. Problem 1 : Scrapers will deliver to the project 500 lcy per hr of fill material (dry clay). A self-propelled tamping foot roller will be used to compact the fill. (Rolling width is 84 in.) The fill material will be placed in 4 inch compacted lifts. The loose lift is about 10 inches. Test strip compaction information indicates that 8 passes at 4 mph are required to obtain the required density. Assume a 55 min working hour. Q1: Calculate the roller production in CCY/hr. 22: Determine the number of rollers required to support the scraper operation.

GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING: The Undisturbed soil at a given borrow pit is found to have the following parameters. The water content is 15%, the void ratio is 0.60 and the specific gravity of the solids is 2.70. The soil from this borrow pit is to be used to construct a rolled fill having a finished volume of 50,000 yd3 . The soil is excavated by means of a shovel and dumped on trucks. When loaded to capacity these trucks are found to contain, on average, a net weight of wet soil equal to 13,000 lbs. In the construction process, the trucks dump their load on the fill, the material is spread and broken up, after which a sprinkler adds water until the water content is equal to 18%. The soil and water are thoroughly mixed by means of dicers (or other similar equipment) and then compacted until the dry unit weight γd=110 lbs/ft3. Helpful Conversions (3ft=1yd), (γw=62.4 lbs/ft3), (7.48gal/1ft3 ) a) If the fill should become saturated at some time subsequent to construction and does not change…
