9-29. Using  the  average-end-area  method, what is the volume between stations 2 + 00 and 3 + 00? 1. 69.0 cu yd 2. 712.4 cu yd 3. 1,424.8 cu yd 4. 2,429.6 cu yd Learning  Objective:  Apply  prin- ciples and procedures associated with the use of the mass diagram method to balance cut and fill as well as to limit haul distance in  earthwork  construction. 9-30. What is the importance of knowing the  swell  and  compaction  factors of the different types of soil? 1. Determining the different volumes of the soil in various conditions 2. Determining the shrinkage of the  volume  when  excavated 3. Determining  the  loss  of material when hauled 4. Determining the waste created during  excavation 9-31. What is considered the limit of economic  haul? 1. When the cost of the haul equals  the  cost  of  excavation 2. Any distance over 1,000 ft 3. One half of the free haul distance 4. When the cost of excavation equals twice the cost of the haul 9–32 . What distance is normally considered the free-haul distance? 1. 400 ft 2. 500 ft 3. 750 ft 4. 1,000  ft 9-33. When you prepare the table of cumulative yardage, how are the volumes obtained? 1. By  scaling  the  cross  sections 2. By  area-by-formula  method 3. By average end area and distance 9-34. The term  balance  line  refers  to the point on a mass diagram where 1. a cut becomes a fill 2. a fill becomes a cut 3. the haul limit is exceeded 4. the volume of fill equals the volume of cut 9-35. On a mass diagram, what term describes  the  section  where  a fill becomes a cut? 1. Minimum  yardage 2. Maximum  yardage 3. Balance  line 4. Line of zero yardage Learning  Objective:  Recognize the  procedures  of  performing stakeout  and  as-built  surveys for  bridges,  culverts,  and underground  utilities. 9-36. As-built  surveys  are  performed  to determine  which  of  the  following purposes? 1. Quantity of work left to complete 2. Points  as  actually  constructed 3. Quantity  of  work  actually completed 4. Both 2 and 3 above 9-37. At  what  point  in  construction should as-built data be collected? 1. At the completion of a section of the work 2. At the end of a job 3. At the completion of work for each sheet of the drawing 4. Each of the above 62
