Questions and Answers

What is the defining characteristic of a balance dirt job?

  • Topsoil is retained for subsequent reuse on the site
  • Earth moving is performed and paid for in the same billing cycle
  • As much fill is brought onto the construction site as is required to fill excavations
  • Cut and fill volumes are equal (correct)

    • What is NOT a characteristic of a balance dirt job?

  • Using topsoil for subsequent reuse on the site
  • Bringing as much fill onto the construction site as is required to fill excavations
  • Performing earth moving and paying for it in the same billing cycle
  • Unequal cut and fill volumes (correct)

    • In a balance dirt job, what is the financial arrangement for earth moving?

  • Performed and paid for in the same billing cycle (correct)
  • Paid for only after all excavations are filled
  • Paid for separately from other construction activities
  • Paid for based on the weight of the fill brought onto the site

    Study Notes

    Balance Dirt Jobs

    • A balance dirt job is characterized by having the volume of earth moved balanced, meaning the amount excavated equals the amount needed for fill, minimizing the need for off-site disposal or import.
    • Characteristics not associated with a balance dirt job include excess dirt needing disposal or significant import for fill.
    • Financial arrangements in a balance dirt job typically involve agreements where the contractor is paid based on the volume of material moved rather than hourly wages.

    Time Difference in Construction

    • The time difference between the start and end of a through band is termed the "duration" of the construction phase.

    Asphalt Application

    • Applying low viscosity asphalt to a granular base in preparation for an initial asphalt layer is known as "tack coat" application.

    Probability in Testing

    • If a test has 6 questions and at least 4 correct answers are required to pass, the probability of passing by guessing involves calculating possible successful combinations of answers.

    Committee Formation

    • Forming a committee consisting of 4 mathematicians, 3 physicists, and 2 chemists from a larger group requires combinatorial calculations based on available candidates.

    Hyperbola Properties

    • The eccentricity of a hyperbola with equal transverse and conjugate axes is defined and calculated based on the relationship between these parameters.

    Surface Area Increase

    • The percentage increase in surface area can be determined through geometric calculations, likely comparing initial and final dimensions.

    Spring Deformation

    • The velocity of a block at the moment a spring is deformed by 100mm is assessed through principles of dynamics and spring constant calculations.

    Curvature Calculations

    • The length of the second curve in a compound curve setup would relate to specific geometric properties and lengths associated with the overall path.

    Alpha Particle Interaction

    • An alpha particle's proximity to a nucleus can be calculated based on nuclear physics principles, explaining interactions at atomic levels.

    Block Movement Post-Bullet Exit

    • Determining the speed of the block after a bullet exits involves principles of conservation of momentum and kinetic energy calculations.

    Inscribed Circle Radius

    • The radius of a smaller circle inscribed in a square section with a 4cm radius can be derived from geometric relationships of shapes.

    Degree of Curvature

    • The degree of curvature for a designed simple curve with a maximum speed of 90kph and limited superelevation can be calculated via engineering standards for roadway design.

    Stationing Computation

    • The stationing of the P.C.C. for a compound curve requires utilizing specific characteristics and dimensions of the curves involved to ensure proper alignment in construction plans.
