NCEES Civil PE Specification Estimating Quantities and Costs: Work measurement and productivity
Problem
Calculate production rate of a compaction roller for soil compaction (bank volume) based on the following scenario:
- W = compacted width per roller pass = 6 ft
- S = average roller speed = 8 mph
- L = compacted lift thickness = 4 in
- n = number of rollers passes required to achieve required density = 5
- efficiency of compactor = 85%
- Shrinkage (Sh)= 20%
