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?arrow_forward

The weight of the mat is 55 MN. Since each silo is filled independently, the resultant load imposed on the mat does not necessarily act through the centroid. Evaluate the various loading conditions and determine whether centrally loaded, one-way eccentric loaded, and two-way eccentric loading requirements will be met. If these requirements are not met, determine the minimum mat width, B, needed to satisfy these requirements.
