Earth--- whose in situ weight is 112 lbcf whose loose


Earth--- whose in situ weight is 112 lb/cf, whose loose weight is 95 lb/cf, and whose compacted weight is 120 lb/cf--- is placed in a fill the rate of 250 cy/hr, measured as compacted earth. the thickness of the compacted layers is 6 in. a compactor with a roller drum width of 75 feet is used to compact the material at a speed of 2.5 mph. assume 55-min hour operating efficiency.  Determine the number of rollers required to provide the necessary compaction rate if eight drum passes are specified for each layer of earth.
