I might be over thinking this simple concept, but I would like for it to be automatic come test time.
Below are the equations that I have come up with for BCY, LCY, and CCY while working example problems
Do these look correct? Any changes or other suggestions?
BCY = bank cubic yards
LCY = loose cubic yards
CCY = compacted cubic yards
Sw = swell factor
Sh = shrinkage factor
BCY = LCY / (1 + Sw)
or
BCY = CCY / (1 – Sh)
LCY = (1 + Sw) * (BCY)
or
LCY = CCY / [(1 - Sh) / (1 + Sw)]
CCY = (1 – Sh) * (BCY)
or
CCY = LCY * [(1 - Sh) / (1 + Sw)]
