The soil borrow material to be used to construct a highway embankment has a mass unit weight of 107.0 lb/cf and a water content

of 7.3%, and the specific gravity of the soil solids is 2.62. The specifications require that the soils be place in the fill so that the dry unit weight is 113 lb/cf and the water content be held at 6%. How many cubic yards of borrow are required to construct an embankment have a 440,000-cy net section volume? How many gallons of water must be added per cubic yard of borrow material assuming no loss evaporation.466,103 bcy borrow-4.72 gal per bcy borrow534,953 bcy borrow-5.49 gal per bcy borrow517,116 bcy borrow-3.89 gal per bcy borrow498,594 bcy borrow-4.20 gal per bcy borrow

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Given information

Bulk unit weight of 107.0 lb/cf

Water content of 7.3%,=0.073

Specific gravity of the soil solids is 2.62

Specifications

Dry unit weight is 113 lb/cf

Water content is 6%.

Volume of embankment is 440,000-cy

Borrow material

$Dry_{unit,weight}=\frac {bulk_{unit,weight}}{1+water_{content}}=\frac {107}{1+0.073}= 99.72041 lb/cf$

Embankment

Considering that the volume of embankment is inversely proportional to the dry unit weight

$\frac {V_{embankment}}{V_{borrow}}=\frac {Dry_{borrow}}{Dry_{embankment}}$

Therefore, $V_{borrow}=V_{embankment} *\frac {Dry_{embarkement}}{Dry_{borrow}}$

$V_{borrow}=440,000-cy*\frac {113 lb/cf }{99.72041 lb/cf }= 498594-cy$

Therefore, volume of borrow material is 498594-cy

(b)

The weight of water in embankment is found by multiplying the moisture content and dry unit weight.

Assuming that all the specifications are achieved, weight of water in embankment=0.06*113=6.78 lb/cf

Since $1 yd^{3}= 27 ft^{3}$

The embankment requires water of 6.78*27*440000= 80546400 lb

Borrow materials’ water will also be 0.073*99.72041=7.27959 lb/cf

Borrow material requires water of 7.27959*27*498594=97998120 lb

Extra water between borrow material and embankment=97998120 lb-80546400 lb=17451720 lb

$Unit_{weight}=\frac {17451720}{498594}=35.00186 lb$

1 gallon is approximately $8.35 yd^{3}$ hence

$\frac {35.00186 lb/yd^{3}}{8.35}=4.19184 gallons/yd^{3}$

That's approximately 4.2 gallons

qaws [65]

Answer:

In these present generation, every day a new technology is coming. People are adopting these technologies very fast. If we think ," we have learned C language , now why to worry about java " . Then that is called you are bounding yourself to a technology. You are not ready for the growth.

With the invent of new technologies, if we have basic idea of how it works, we can simply implement it. At the end of day , it doesn't really matter how many lines of code you have written , it is just about efficiency. How Efficiently you are writing your code.

So, When Efficiency is the only thing that matters to the organizations , they are ready to take up new technologies and they will try to work-out with them. This is the trend in IT .Every month a new technology comes, respective people will be trained on that and they will implement/migrate the existing projects into new efficient model.

If we really learn and implement things using advance technologies , people will get an exposure to new technologies as well as the organization will get good impact on them , for spending resources on learning new technologies in the market. Apart from that , everyone will be happy for adopting new stack of technologies for them.

If we observe the existing technologies:

Programming languages are :

C, JAVA, PYTHON,R , SCALA

web development technologies:

HTML,CSS , JAVASCRIPT, ANGULAR,REACT , BOOTSTRAP , NODE.JS, MongoDB....etc

databases skills:

SQL, oracle,mySQL, postgres and so many cloud databases also available.

So, there are plenty of opportunities that are available . There are life time courses available to learn new technologies.

LEARN..RELEARN....UNLEARN

this is the motto of many organizations. They simply learn one technology and they'll forget it . If something new comes, they'll learn and implements it.This is the current trend in software industry.
