Calculate the total operation time for this construction activity if the volume of soil to be removed is 8 cu.m. (considered 33% for bulking of materials.) The speed of dumptruck is 30 kph and travel distance (round trip) from the source to disposal area vice-versa is 6 km. The bucket size of excavator is 0.50 cu.m at 0.50 min loading time, tipping time is 4 mins.

A bottom dump hydraulic shovel with a 5 cubic yard heaped capacity bucket is excavating in hard clay. The depth of the excavation is 12 feet. The shovel has a maximum rated digging depth of 34 feet. The haul units can be positioned so that the swing angle is 60 degrees. The job efficiency is 50 minutes per hour. Find the expected production per hour.
a. Assuming that each load is a full-capacity load, howmany truckloads are required to construct the fill?b. What should be the volume of the pit that remains in theborrow area after all the material required for the fill hasbeen removed?c. How many liters of water will have to be added per truckload,assuming that the moisture lost by evaporation duringexcavation, haulage, and handling is negligible?d. If the fill should become saturated at some time subsequentto the construction and does not change volumeappreciably, what will be its saturation water content?
Evaluate cost and production using a 3-cy hoe to load wet gravel into 14-cy-size trucks. Assume a bucket fill factor of 105% and that the hoe bucket swing cycle time is 24 sec. Use the information in table below, a truck net empty weight of 36,860 lb, and a rated payload of 40,000 lb. Dump time will be 1.3 min. The haul distance is 2.5 miles from the pit to the plant up a 3% grade. The rolling resistance of the haul road will be maintained at 3%. The hoe and operator cost $97 per hour, and trucks cost $49 per hour. Assume the efficiency is 60min/hr. What is the truck cycle time? What is the loader cycle time? What is the number of trucks? What is the production of the truck, if you know that the loader will control that production? What is the total cost in dollars $ and in ($/lcy)?

Estimate the hourly production in bank measures of a hydraulic shovel loading sand and gravel into trucks. The machine is equipped with a front dump bucket having a heaped bucket capacity of 5.2 Lm³. Average swing angle is 60 degrees. The bucket fill factor is 0.9, job efficiency is 1.0, and load factor is 0.85.
three trucks weighing 14,566kg, 15230kg, and 14021kg deliver HMA to the paver. The mat is 4.5m wide and 55mm thick with a density of 2250kg/m ³ If the starting station is 8+915, at which station (to the meter) should the paver be 2. at after all 3 trucks have dumped? A paving job is nearing completion, and the foreman needs to let the plant know how much HMA is needed to complete. The calculations are based from station 1+330, and the finish station is 1+343. The mat is 3.7m wide x 55mm deep. The density at laydown is 2350kg/m ³ Calculate the mass required to finish the job in kg. 3.

Calculate number of transit mixers (TM) required for transporting concrete from central batching plant to site. The cycle time data of a 6 m³ typical transit mixers is given below: O Loading time of TM = 6.0 minutes. O Travel time of loaded TM to site= 30 minutes. Average waiting time at site = 5.0 minutes Discharge time of concrete at site through concrete pump = 15 minutes. Travel time for return trip = 24 minutes. If the central batching plant having average output of 60 m³/hr is to run continuously, work out the requirement of no. of concrete pumps and TM.
