QUESTIONS
◉ (T/F) For bulk materials, volumetric mesure varies with
material's position in the construction process. Answer: T
◉ (T/F) The same weight of a material will occupy different volumes
as the material is handled on the project. Answer: T
◉ Swell. Answer: Reduction in density due to loosening the soil by
digging
◉ Which soil volume is used to determine the volume capacity of
excavating/hauling equipment?. Answer: Loose Volume
◉ Soil density is a measure of ? per unit of volume.. Answer: Weight
◉ What is soil's bank condition?. Answer: Typical amount of soil in
its natural state
◉ (T/F) 1 bank cubic yard is 1 cubic yard of material after it has
been disturbed by a loading process. Answer: F
, ◉ What are construction costs based on?. Answer: (total quantity of
the work to be done)*(the unit price of the work)
◉ Rolling Resistance. Answer: resistance of a level surface to
constant-velocity motion across it
◉ What does rolling resistance result from?. Answer: friction of the
driving mechanism, tire flexing and the force needed to push
through or ride over the supporting surface
◉ (T/F) rolling resistance applied to both crawler-type and wheel-
type mobile equipment. Answer: T
◉ (T/F) When a vehicle moves down a grade the force of gravity that
assists the vehicle is also called grade assistance. Answer: T
◉ (T/F)power required, total resistance and effective grade all
denote the same thing. Answer: T
◉ (T/F) The decision process for matching the best possible
machine to the project task requires the engineer to take into
account both the properties of the material to be handled and the
mechanical capabilities of the machine. Answer: T
