Q$4.$ Using your first analysis from Q$3,$ set up a spreadsheet to calculate the maximum distance you could pave a $12-$foot$-$wide lane, at a total thickness of $10$ inches $($two lifts of three inches and one lift of four inches$),$ per hour, for the following compactors:

$$ CAT CB$36$B

$$ CAT CB$46$B

$$ CAT CB$64$B

$$You must account for the deviations from the assumed conditions outlined in the CAT Performance Handbook. The site conditions for this project are:

$$ Only one compactor is allowed

$$ Vibratory speed as indicated by CAT for specific equipment

$$ Lift thickness as indicated in problem. Since lift thickness changes, you need to calculate separate production values.

$$ Impact spacing is $15$ impacts per foot

$$ Four passes required for compaction

$$ Unit weight of asphalt concrete is $150$ pcf

The reason this is asking for maximum distance per hour is that you can only put down so much material before there is too much and the compactors cannot keep up before the asphalt concrete reaches the stop temperature. Note: Below is Q$3$ and the answers I got after putting all the details in Multicool website.

Q$3.$ Using the MultiCool website, determine how much time you have to put down and compact the following project:

$$ paving on top of existing asphalt concrete

$3$ lifts of PG $64-22$ asphalt concrete

$$ lifts $1$ and $3$ are $3$ inches and the second lift is $4$ inches

$$ use defaults for everything else with that, answer the following questions:

a$.$ How long do I have to work on the first lift?

b$.$ Do I get a significant $$benefit$$ in terms of working time if I do this project in the dead of summer in Alabama where the surface temperature can reach $120$F and the air temp is $95$F$?$ Explain with some numbers.

c$.$ Some DOTs prohibit asphalt paving below an air temperature of $40$F$.$ How much shorter of a time do I have if I say, $$screw you government, you can$$t tell me what to do$,$ you$$re not my mom!$$ and I go and pave at an air temperature of $30$F and a surface temperature of $40$F$?$

d$.$ Picking any of the prior three scenarios, is the rate of heat loss constant for each lift? Why or why not? Solution for Q$3($ Answer$)$

Sn duration$($winter$)$ duration$($summer$)$ D$($air&Surface temp $30$ &$40)$

Lift $1437539$

lift $210313697$

lift $38110076$

Total $227311212$
