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

A project to move packed earth requires you to decide whether to usea dozer/scraper operation or excavator/truck operation. Determinethe most economical operation based on the dozer/scraper operationestimated at $1.25/cy. All equipment carries a rated heaped capacity, hasa fill factor of 100%, and works 45-min hours. Excavator costs $95/hr（including operator), cycle time is 0.28 min, and bucket heaped capacityis 5.0 cy. Truck costs $150/hr.(including operator), dump time is 0.5 min（maneuver, dump, turn), heaped capacity is 31.7 cy, and 12 trucks areavailable for the project.Hauling equipment operates in one directionfrom A to B to C and finally to D.

A contractor is to excavate an area of 350′ × 150′ to a depth of 9′ and haul it by dump truck to a site where it is to be used for fill. The soil will then be fully compacted. If the swell factor is 25 percent and the shrinkage factor is 18 percent. Estimate the total bare cost for the job (excavation only) using a 2½ CY front-end loader, track mounted. Consider average nation price. Use the crew below.
A simple platform having a stair will be constructed, as an estimator, your boss gave you an assignment to estimate the concrete works needed for the stairs only. The width of the stair is exactly 1 meter. Using Class "A" mixture, how many cu.m. of sand is needed for the project? Note: The values are not rounded to the nearest 50ths; use the exact value instead. 0.825 cu.m. 0.875 cu.m. 1.075 cu.m. 0.975 cu.m.
A limestone mine has the following equipment at its primary production face: Excavator: a 15 yd3 (11.5 m3) front-end loader with 40 sec cycle time Trucks: five 100 ton (90 tonne) trucks Material: average blasted rock with medium-hard digging conditions Working conditions: average Haulage cycle time: 20.0 min (a) What is the sustained production rate of the system in tons/hr, assuming 60 min of production per hour'? (b) Which equipment (loader or trucks) governs? (c) What improvements would you recommend to increase mine production without changing equipment?

Suppose that you are a Project Engineer on a Dam project. The volume of soil required at the dame site is Vd=100,000m3. The final void ratio (ed) is 0.80. Your boss, the Project Manager delegates to you the important decision of buying the earth fill from one of three suppliers. • Supplier X sells fill at OMR. 0.200/m3 with e = 0.90• Supplier Y sells fill at OMR. 0.120/m3 with e = 2.00• Supplier Z sells fill at OMR. 0.150/m3 with e = 1.60Evaluate and select the best supplier based on your knowledge about soil compaction.

An excavator is excavating the soil in a ditch with measurements of length = 250 ft, width = 35 ft, depth = 4.5 ft. The swell factor is 1.14 to account for the loose state. The loose material has an angle of repose of 34°. What is most nearly the height of triangular spoil pile? (Hint: Look up what does angle of repose mean, this is a math question
