Question 36657

Reinforced Cement Concrete

Estimate the production of a single-engine two-axle wheel scraper whose travel time curves are shown in the figures in the previous slides based on the following information.
Haul road for a single pusher:
Section 1 Level loading area
Section 2. Down a 4% grade, 2000 ft for hauling
Section 4. Up a 4% grade, 2000 ft for returning
Rolling resistance 100 lb/ton
Section 3. Level dumping area
Material: Sandy clay, 3200 lb/BCY, and 2650 lb/LCY
Maximum heaped volume = 30 LCY
Maximum payload = 95000 lb
Job efficiency = 50 min/hr
Operating conditions = average

Question 36656

Reinforced Cement Concrete

1.A contractor is planning to use a crawler tractor with power shift transmission to push 1,500LCY. The tractor must haul the loose material down an 8% slope, where it will be stockpiled for later removal. The contractor has measured the tractor blade load measurement: the pile length12.6 ft, the pile width 8.1 ft, and the pile height 4 ft. The tractor weighs 24,400 pounds, and the coefficient of traction is estimated to be 0.7. The average haul distance is estimated to be 300 ft.The job efficiency is 50 minutes per hour. Performance characteristics of the tractor are shown in the previous figure. (note: 1 mi/hr = 88 ft/min)
1) What is the estimated productivity of the tractor?
2) Estimate the total hours to complete the work.
3) Determine if the tractor can perform the work in the given condition above.
