Answer:
149 loads of import will be required for the project.
Explanation:
bank cubic yards = bcy
Loose cubic yards = lcy
Calculate for the required bank cubic yards.
Required bank cubic yards = required in place cubic yards/shrinkage
Substitute
required in place cubic yards = 1,490 ccy
shrinkage percentage = 95% = 0.95
Required bank cubic yards = 1,490/0.95 = 1,568.42 bcy
Determine the volume of the material to be transported
Loose cubic yards = bank cubic yards * (1 + swell percentage)
swell percentage = 14% = 0.14
Loose cubic yards = 1,568.42*(1+0.14) = 1,788 lcy
loads of import that will be required = Loose cubic yards/truck haul capacity
loads of import that will be required = 1,788/12 = 149 load
Answer:
The loads that will be required are 149
Explanation:
The required bank cubic yard is equal to:
[tex]required-bank-cubic-yard=\frac{required-in-place-cubic-yard}{shrinkage} =\frac{1490}{0.95} =1568.42bcy[/tex]
The volume of the material is equal to:
[tex]loose-cubic-yard=required-bank-cubic-yard(1+swell-percentage)=1568.42(1+0.14)=1787.99lcy[/tex]
The number of truck loads is equal to:
[tex]loads=\frac{lcy-of-haul}{lcy-per-load} =\frac{1787.99}{12} =148.99=149loads[/tex]
