An excavation of 25,750 m3 (bm) is to be made for the foundation excavation of a building in 5 weeks assuming 6 workdays per week and 8 hours working time per day. It is expected that during excavation 5.0 workdays will be lost due to bad weather conditions. The excavation will be done in dry earth with an average depth of cut of 3,25 meter. Angle of swing is about 90°. Estimated working time in an hour is about 51 minutes. Determine the number of trucks for: If truck capacity=12 m3 (loose) and distance to dump area is 7.5 km. Vh=30 km/hr, Vr=60 km/hr, ts=2 min., td=3.5 min. Truck efficiency and dipper factor are same as those of the backhoes.

Question
An excavation of 25,750 m3 (bm) is to be made for the foundation excavation of a building in 5 weeks assuming 6
workdays per week and 8 hours working time per day. It is expected that during excavation 5.0 workdays will be lost
due to bad weather conditions. The excavation will be done in dry earth with an average depth of cut of 3,25 meter.
Angle of swing is about 90°. Estimated working time in an hour is about 51 minutes.
Determine the number of trucks for:
If truck capacity=12 m3 (loose) and distance to dump area is 7.5 km. Vh=30 km/hr,
Vr=60 km/hr, ts=2 min., td=3.5 min. Truck efficiency and dipper factor are same as
those of the backhoes.
