distance of 10 miles, how many truckloads (assuming a capacity of 10 cubic yards per truck) will be required?

First, we need to calculate the swell factor, which is the increase in volume that occurs when the clay is excavated and exposed to air. The swell factor is given as 30%, which means that for every 100 cubic yards of clay in place, it will expand to 130 cubic yards when excavated.

To calculate the total volume of clay that needs to be hauled, we need to multiply the bank cubic yards by the swell factor:

Total volume = 2,000 x 1.3 = 2,600 cubic yards

Next, we need to calculate the number of truckloads required. Assuming a capacity of 10 cubic yards per truck, we can divide the total volume by the truck capacity:

Number of truckloads = 2,600 / 10 = 260

Therefore, 260 truckloads will be required to haul 2,000 bank cubic yards of dense clay (in place at natural density) with a swell factor of 30% a distance of 10 miles.
