A base for an airport runway, 100 m wide, 2000 m long and 500 mm thick, is to be constructed out of a clayey sand excavated from a nearby borrow pit, where the in situ water content is 6%. This soil is being transported in trucks having a capacity of 8 m 3 , where each load weighs 13200 kg. In the subbase course, the soil will be placed at a water content of 14.2% to a dry density of 1890 kg/m 3 . (1000 litres = 1m3 ) (a) How many truck loads will be required to complete the job? (7 points) (b) How many litres of water should be added to each truck load? (7 points) (c) If the base becomes saturated later, without any change in volume, what would be the water content? Assume Gs = 2.7.

The concentration of toluene at the stack is 100 ppm and the polluted air is emitted at 100 m3/minute. The density of toluene is about 0.9 g/mL. Pressure=1atm and temperature = 298K The stack height is 100m. The plume rise is 30 m. Estimate the down wind, centerline, ground-level concentration, at a down wind distance of 5000 meters from the stack. The atmospheric stability is class D, and the wind speed at a stack height is 5.0 m/s. ANSWER 0.54 ug/m3
