Factors affect excavation operations and costs

Reference no: EM13254038

The movement and processing of soil and rocks are the primary objectives of earthmoving and excavation operations. Various characteristics of soil affect these operations and the actual extent of these operations, which might be indicated by the project design.

Explain how the different physical characteristics and moisture content of soil lead to the different angles of repose, swell, and shrinkage factors. Explain how these factors affect excavation operations and costs.
