Question
A hydraulic excavator with a 2 cubic yard heaped capacity bucket is excavating in common earth. The depth of the excavation is 8 feet. The excavator has a maximum rated digging depth of 16 feet. The excavated material will be positioned so that the swing angle is 75 degrees. The job efficiency is 55 minutes per hour. Find the expected production per hour.

- Based on the scraper specifications in Table 8.1 and the performance charts in Figs. 8.7 and 8.8, and for haul conditions as stated here, analyze the probable scraper production. How many scrapers should be used and what will be the production in bcy per hour? The material to be hauled is cohesive. It has a swell factor of 0.77 and a unit weight of 2,940 lb/bcy. The expected rolling resistance for the well-maintained haul road is +4%. Assume a 0.85-min load time will yield an average load of 89% of heaped capacity. To account for both acceleration and deceleration, use an average speed of 5 mph over a distance of 200 ft. Use a 45-min hour efficiency factor. The total length of haul is 3,000 ft and has the following individual segments when moving from cut to fill: 600 ft 5% grade 2,200 ft 2% grade 200 ft –4% gradearrow_forwardWhere suction pumps are used to draw the collected groundwater from the well points, as is common, the practical maximum height of lift is about 5 to 6 m (15 to 18 ft.). Where an excavation is to extend more than this distance below the groundwater table, how can excavation be extended? Explain.arrow_forwardThe cross section at station 2+60 has a cut area of 9 ft² and a fill area of 4 ft² and the cross section at station 3+00 has a cut area of 7 ft² and a fill area of 8 ft². What is the volume (yd) of fill between these stations? Assume 10% swell. Round to the nearest hundredths. Response Feedback: V=L fill A 2+60 +A 3+00 54 Swell means the cut material expands, therefore less fill is needed. The swell amount is subtracted from the calculated fill volume.arrow_forward

- Problem Estimate the TOTAL COST needed for Excavation, Gravel Bedding, and Concreting Works (Excavation + Cement + Gravel + Sand). Do not round off your answer. Parameters to consider: No allowance or factor of waste. Use Class AA Excavation Cost = 300 pesos per sq.m. Use 40 kgs bag Cement = 300 pesos per bag 100 mm thick gravel bed (include this in estimate) Sand = 1000 pesos per per sq.m. All footings lie on gravel bed (except FTB) Gravel = 900 pesos per per sq.m. D=1.53, I=16, and J=24 givens are in meter. What to estimate: For Earthworks: • Footing and Footing Tie Beam For Concreting Works: • Footing • Footing Tie Beam • Columns Additional: • Gravel Bed (Estimate the volume needed and include the cost in the total cost) GIVEN: A= 1530 B= 330 C= 1630 D= 1.53 E= 430 F= 480 G= 280 H= 860 I= 16 J= 24arrow_forwardQ5/ Determine the bit size needed for drilling to the depth of the surface casing of a well if the casing program calls for a surface string, an intermediate string, and a 5.5-in. production string.arrow_forwardComplete the earthwork calculation sheet here and plot the resulting mass diagram.
