Question: 1. Estimate the production in compacted cubic yards (meters) per hour of a self-propelled tamping foot roller under the following conditions: average speed = 5 mi/h (8.0 km/h), compacted lift thickness = 6 in. (15.2 cm), effective roller width = 10 ft (3.05 m), job efficiency = 0.75, and number of passes = 8.
2. a. What is a compaction wheel?
b. What is the typical lift thickness for an excavator-mounted compaction wheel?
c. State the minimum pipe cover that should be used when compacting with an excavator-mounted compaction wheel.
