Pricing Excavation and Backfill

Backfill, in construction, is the activity of returning the soil and gravel that are removed during building construction or using them again to toughen and support the foundation of the building or any other structural component.

Need 1 m3 of 35 N/mm2concrete (specified compressivestrength). From testing a representative sample from the aggregate pile, the total moisturecontent of the fine aggregate is 4.3%. The standard proportions of the batch quantities for a 35 N/mm2 mixture are 125 kg of water, 545 kg (in dry condition) of coarse aggregate, and 477kg (in dry condition) of fine aggregate per cubic meter. The absorption capacity of the fineaggregates is 0.55%. a) What is the amount of fine aggregates required in order to have 477 kg in the drycondition?
A transit concrete mixer truck gets stuck in traffic and arrivesjust after the maximum time allowed for fresh concrete. Theproject superintendent rejects the concrete, but the driverinsists that it is visible still in good shape. However, becausethe superintendent refuses to accept the concrete, it is dumpednearby the project. Who should pay for this concrete?
13. A contractor needs 375 m³ of aggregate base for a highway construction project. It will be compacted to a dry unit weight of 18.9 kN/m³. This material is available in a stockpile at a local material supply yard at a water content of 7.75%, but is sold by the metric ton and not by cubic meters (ton 3 1000kg). a. How many tons of aggregate should the contractor purchase? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. b. A few weeks later, an intense rainstorm increased the water content of the stockpile to 14%. If the contractor orders the same quantity for an identical section of the highway, how many cubic meters. of compacted aggregate base will he produce?
Explain about the consolidation process, when it is completed.
Aggregates from a material storage site are required for the embankment of a roadway. The porosity of the aggregates at the storage is 75% and it is desired that these be compacted until a porosity of 20% is reached. The section of current interest for the embankment is 8m wide, 1.2m compacted thickness and 220m long. Compute the total cost if each truckload of aggregates to be transported will cost around 3550.00 and each truckload has a capacity of 7m3.
