Observations indicate that an excavator carries an average bucket load of 2.3 LCM per cycle. The soil's load factor is 0.80 and the cycle time averages 0.35 min. Job conditions are rated fair, and management conditions are rated as good. Estimate the hourly excavator production in bank measure to the nearest whole number (zero decimal places).

Calculate the price of meter length of excavation works for a tunnel has a rectangular cross-section of 80 cm width and 100 cm height. This work is carried out using an excavator has a production of 80 m/day with a daily rent of 240000 ID/working day. The excavator should be accompanied by 5 workers. The rent of worker is 20000 ID/ day. The size of the earthworks is 160 m". The indirect administrative cost is 15% and expected benefit is 20%.

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…
