The one-way haul distance from the 1.25 in, aggregate stockpile to the cold bins of the plant is 220 ft. The asphalt plant uses 105 tons per hour of 1.2: in. aggregate. Can the loader meet this requirement if the loose unit weight aggregate is 3100 lb per cy? [15) of Question 10. _ASelf-propelled tamping foot compactor will be used to compact a fill being constructed \- of clay material, Field tests have shown that the required density can be achieved with four passes of the roller operating at an average speed of 3 mph. The compacted lift will have a thickness of 6 in. The compacting width of this machine is 7 ft, One bank cubic yard equals 0.83 compacted cubic yards. The scraper production estimated for the Project is 510 bey per hour. How many rollers will be required to maintain this Production? Assume S0-min hour efficiency. [35) Question 14. A shovel with 2 3-cy heaped bucket is loading well-blasted rock on a highway project. Zhe average face height is expected to be 22ft. The shovel has a maximum rated digging height of 30ft. Most of the cut will require a 140° swing of the shovel to load the haul tits. What is a conservative production estimate in bank cubie yards? AS = 90°, stick length = 12° (15) Question 12. A crawler hoe having a 3.5 cy bucket is being considered for use on a project to excavat very hard clay from @ borrow pit. The clay will be loaded into trucks Having 2 loading height of 9ft 9 in, Sol-boring information indicates that below & ft, the material changes to an unacceptable silt material. What is the estimated production of the hoe in cubic yards bank measure, ifthe efficiency factor is equal to a 50 min-hour? [15}
