Optimization problem: An open top container of length L, width W and height H is used to transport ore. The cost for the surface area is $ 100/m2; cost of weld is $ 10/m; 400 m³ of ore is to be transported in no more than 50 trips; the length is not to exceed 3 m and width not to exceed 2 m. Formulate the optimization problem to solve for the maximum volume of the container.
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.

A loader operating at 107 cy/hr has 2.5-cy heaped capacity bucket and has a 1.2-min load cycle. The trucks have 11-cy capacity and a 30-minute dump + haul + return time. A 95% fill factor applies to the loader. The project works 50-minute hours. Determine the job production for 7 trucks. A 94.70 cy/hr B 95.55 cy/hr C 93.70 cy/hr D 96.70 cy/hr
A 3-cy wheel loader will be used to load trucks from a quarry stockpile of processed aggregates having a maximum size of _ in. The haul distance will be negligible. The aggregate has a loose unit weight of 2,950 lb per cu yd. Estimate the loader production in tons based on a 50-min hour efficiency factor. Use an aggressive cycle time and fill factor.
Determine the tonnage or capacity/truck using the following parameters: Ore hauling Cycle time = 30 minutes hauling time = 18 hrs/day Production target = 30,000 tons per day Truck Capacity = 100 tonner Truck factor = 85 %
In a truck and shovel operation, the time for a truck to position itself at the shovel and be loaded are 0.50 minute and 3 minutes respectively. It then takes the truck 10 minutes to haul the ore, dump it at the coarse ore bin, and return to the shovel. How many trucks do you need to keep the shovel busy with a little waiting time for the trucks?
A Highway contractor has four locations A, B, C, and D on a road contract to which crushed stone is to be delivered. The stone, which is all of the same quality is to be supplied from two quarries 1 and 2. The table below shows the relative transportation cost per cubic meter of transporting stone from each quarry to each site.

7. A hydraulic shovel will be used to excavate sandy clay and load it into a 12 BCY dump truck. The shovel production at 100% efficiency is estimated to be 300 BCY/hour and job efficiency is 0.80. Truck travel time is estimated to be 8.0 minutes and truck fixed cycle time (excluding loading) is estimated to be 2.0 minutes. Equipment costs for the shovel and trucks are $40/h (shovel) and $20/h (truck). A. How many trucks are theoretically required to obtain maximum production? B. What is the expected production of the system in banked measure using this number of trucks? C. What is the expected unit loading and hauling costs in $/BCY?
An excavator was able to load a truck in 2 minutes and additional 30 seconds for the positioning of the truck. The hauling time, dumping time, and return time of the truck is about 25mins. What is the equipment utilization of the excavator if there are only eight trucks available during the loading operations?
A 32-cy wheel loader will be used to load trucks from a quarry stockpile of processed aggregates having a maximum size of in. The haul distance will be negligible. The aggregate has a loose unit weight of 2,900 lb/cy. Estimate the loader production in tons based on a 50-min-hour efficiency factor. Use an aggressive cycle time and fill factor.
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
