A soil's bank condition is the typical amount of soil in its
__________ state. - Answer-natural state
1 bank cubic yard is 1 cubic yard of material after it has
been disturbed by a loading process. - Answer-false
Construction cost estimates are based on the total
quantity of the work to be performed multiplied by the
____________ of the work. - Answer-unit price
A contractor is planning to haul in the soil to construct a
parking lot for a shopping center she is constructing.
Density tests taken on the soil in its natural state (wet)
indicate a unit weight of 101 pounds per cubic foot. The

contractor heated a soil sample in an oven and
determined the dry unit weight to be 96 pounds per cubic
foot. What is the moisture content of the soil? - Answer-
5.21%
A contractor is planning to haul in the soil to construct a
parking lot for a shopping center she is constructing.
Density tests taken on the soil in its natural state (wet)
indicate a unit weight of 101 pounds per cubic foot. The
contractor heated a soil sample in an oven and
determined the dry unit weight to be 96 pounds per cubic
foot. To minimize the amount of compaction required to
achieve the design density for the parking lot, the
contractor wants to increase the moisture content to 10%.
How many gallons of water should she add to each cubic
yard of soil to increase the moisture content to 10%? (1
gallon of water weighs 8.34 pounds) - Answer-14.92 gal/cy
A contractor plans to excavate 4,000 bank cubic yards
from a site. He needs to have 1,000 compacted cubic
yards for the backfill of excavations. The soil test shows
that the soil has a bank density of 2,500 pounds per cubic
yard, a loose density of 2,000 pounds per cubic yard, and
a compacted density of 3,000 pounds per cubic yard.

What is the percent shrinkage for the soil? - Answer-
16.67%
The three basic components of soil are ______,
________, and __________. - Answer-solids, water, and
air
For bulk materials, volumetric measure varies with the
material's position in the construction process. - Answer-
true
The same weight of a material will occupy different
volumes as the material is handled on the project. -
Answer-true
________ is a reduction in density due to loosening the
soil by digging. - Answer-swell
Which of the following soil volume is used to determine the
volume capacity of excavating and hauling equipment? -
Answer-loose volume
