A subsurface exploration report shows that the average water content of a fine-grained soil in a proposed borrow area is 22% and

that its average natural dry density is 82 pcf. This soil is to be placed in a compacted fill with a dry density specified at 96 pcf. How many cubic yards of borrow will be required to produce 50,000 yd3 of fill? What is the shrinkage factor for the borrow?

Answer:

shrinkage ratio  = 1.538

Explanation:

given data

water content = 22 %

dry density γ = 82 pcf

required dry density specified γ' = 96 pcf

required to produce = 50,000 yd³  = 50000 × 27 = 1350,000 ft³

solution

we get here first volume of borrow pit that is we know that

dry density ∝  \frac{1}{volume}  

so \frac{\gamma d}{\gamma 'd}  = \frac{v'}{v}

\frac{82}{96}  = \frac{1350000}{v}

v = 1580487.8 ft³

v = 58536.58 yd³

so here

shrinkage ratio will be as

shrinkage ratio = \frac{96}{62.4}  

shrinkage ratio  = 1.538

N DevOps, high levels of automation are expected, which increases productivity. Which fact illustrates this productivity increas
Bess [88]

Answer:

Less intervention of humans.

Explanation:

This fact illustrate that less intervention of human in the production is the main cause for increase in productivity because use of machinery completed the work in less time as compared to the use of human labour. In many industries, machines takes the place of humans which increases the production of products but at the same time, increase the unemployment rate in the society. Making the whole industry on automation can increase the productivity of products in less time.
