Observations indicate that an excavator carries an average bucket load of 2.4 LCM per cycle. The soil's load factor is 0.85 and the cycle time averages 0.50 min. Job conditions are rated good and management conditions are rated as fair.

A surcharge and sand drain installation is proposed for an airport project to accelerate the consolidation of a thick deposit of fine-grained soil underlying the construction area. The plan is to install sand drains 1.5 ft in diameter at a staggered spacing so that each sand drain will handle a plan area 15 ft in diameter. Laboratory tests indicate that the coefficient of consolidation for horizontal drainage of the soil is 0.5 ft2/day. Computations indicate that the surcharge load will cause an eventual settlement of 12 in. How long a period will be required for 90 percent of this settlement to take place?

After the heavy rain brought by Irene passed over Vermont, the Winnooski River has raised to over 5 feet above its flood elevation. The flood crest is expected to arrive to Montpelier, state capital, in 48 hours. You are an engineer in charge ofcalculating the flood defense by increasing the levee top elevation. Your estimate calls for 5000 CY of compacted material needed before the flood crest arrives. You have two borrow pit options: borrow pit A is located 1 hour away and has 7 Caterpillar 69C trucks with 30.9 CY capacity available. Borrow pit B is located 30 minutes away but has only 3 Caterpillar trucks with the same capacity. Assuming arround the clock work in the next 48 hours calculate which option will allow for completion of the work within the time constraint given. Records on file show the following soil properties at locations A and B: A: Y= 120 pcf, w = 18% B: Y= 125 pcf, w = 12% In order to assure adequate stability of the levee slopes, it will be required to compact…
