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.
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. 15.18 minutes b. 22.02 minutes c. 25.32 minutes d. 30.00 minutes
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.

Estimate the hourly production in LCY of a 3 CY articulated wheel loader excavating hard materials from a pit and moving it to a stockpile. The average haul distance is 350 ft and the grade is 10%. The bucket fill factor is 1 and the efficiency is 45 min/hr. Find hourly production in LCY/HR. Please help me with right solution... Urgenttttttttt... Thank you
A shovel with a 4-cy heaped capacity bucket is loading poorly blasted rock. The average height of face is 16. 5 ft and the maximum digging height of the machine is 33 ft. The haul unit can be positioned only at 180 degrees swing angle. Assume optimum height for the machine as 50% and rock material swells 60%. If the efficiency is 50 min per hour, calculate:1. The shovel production in bcy per hour ----2. The operation cost per bcy if cost of shovel including wages is $116.00 per hour ------

-for Shovel Excavator: Soil Type = dry clay, Excavation time = 4 days, Daily shift = 10 hours, Excavation heigh = H = 3.10 m, Rotation Angle = α1 = 45° State of work and management = good , Distance to dump = L = 5.500 m. -for Truck: Speed with the load = V = 30km/h, Speed without the load = Vr = 50km/h, Loading time = 2min, Dumping time = 2min. -THE AMOUNT OF SOIL IS 4800 m3 Q=Find the needed excavator. And the needed truck and its amount.
3. A hydraulic backhoe cuts a building basement that is uniformly 18-ft deep. The bottom of the basement is 80-ft x 130-ft, and the soil is OSHA Type B, common earth. Its heaped bucket capacity is 3.7-LCY. Job efficiency is 45-min/hr. The machine’s maximum 8-ft level cutting depth is 24-ft. You note that hauler access to position effectively is limited, so on average the site will permit a swing angle of 90-degrees between excavator cut and hauler bed. A. Determine the production rate in LCY/hr. B. Determine the duration in hours of the basement excavation activity.
