From Questions 1,2 & 3, answer two (2) questions. Question 1 (a) Suppose you are working with loose, banked and compacted soil conditions. If a truck is carrying 49m3 of this soil. Calculate the volume in Bm3 and Cm3 to be carried. Assume the soil densities are 1214 kg/Lm3, 1851 kg/Bm3 and the mass of soil reduces the volume by 20% from the bank condition after compaction. 35 marks Choose (b) for 45 marks (b) Selecting the right plant for a construction project will have a major impact on both efficiency and profitability. Explain the factors you would consider when choosing plant? Illustrate your answer with appropriate examples.
