1) Calculate the time required to grade and finish 30 km of road formation of 9.0 m width for two-lane road with motor grader having width of 3.0 m, using six passes with speed for each of the successive two passes as 5 kmph, 7 kmph and 9 kmph respectively. Assume machine efficiency based on operator skill, machine characteristics and working conditions as 80%. 2) 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: Loading time of TM = 6.0 minutes. 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 Travel time for return trip = 24 minutes 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.
Q7. A 25 miles of gravel road require reshaping and leveling. You estimate that a motor grader will require two passes at 3 mph, two passes at 4 mph, and two pass at 5 mph to accomplish the work. How many grader hours will be required for this work if the job efficiency factor is 0.8?
