If 1,490 compacted cubic yards of in-place soil is required for a project, how many loads of import will be required? The import material has a swell of 14 percent and shrinkage of 95 percent. The trucks can haul 12 loose cubic yards.
What will be an ideal response?
Determine the volume of the haul and the number of loads as follows:
Required bcy = 1,490 ccy / 0.95 = 1,568 bcy
Loose cubic yards = 1,568 bcy (1 + 0.14) = 1,788 lcy
Loads = 1,788 lcy / 12 lcy per load = 149 loads
