The formula to calculate the amount of Crush and Run needed (CR) is:
CR=A×D×W2000
Where:
Crush and Run, also known as crusher run, is a type of gravel that is commonly used in places where motor vehicles are often driven or parked. It is a mix of stone powder and small crushed stone, retaining the strength of the top layer of a driveway. It is durable, long-lasting, and versatile, making it suitable for various surfaces and landscaping projects. The stones and dust are able to compact and create a hard surface that is water-resistant and adds stability to the driveway or path where it is used.
Consider an example where:
Using the formula to calculate the amount of Crush and Run needed:
CR=500×4×1002000=100 tons
This means that the amount of Crush and Run needed for this example is 100 tons.
