You are working for a contractor that has a contract for construction of a new hospital. One

of the project tasks is the compacted fill for the parking lot. Initial investigation of the

project plan indicates that $30,000$ compacted cubic yards are required for the fill. You

have selected a source for the fill material and the soil test report indicates the bank density

to be $2750$ pounds per cubic yard and the loose density to be $2200$ pounds per cubic yard,

and the compacted density to be $3500$ pound per cubic yard.

a$.$ What is the percent shrinkage for the fill material?

b$.$ What is the percent swell for the fill material?

c$.$ How many BCY do you have to excavate?

d$.$ How many LCY do you have to haul?

e$.$ If the unit cost of excavation and fill process is $$12\mathrm{.}5$ per $CCY,$ how much is the

total cost of this component of the project?
