Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.11QP
Base course aggregate has a target dry density of 119.7 lb/cu ft in place. It will be laid down and compacted in a rectangular street repair area of 2000 ft × 48 ft × 6 in. The aggregate in the stockpile contains 3.1% moisture. If the required compaction is 95% of the target, how many tons of aggregate will be needed?
