Bucket Fill Factor (average) = 0.95 (Table 3-2)
Load Factor = 0.89 (Table 2-5)
3-1. Estimate the actual bucket load in bank measure for a hydraulic excavator – backhoe whose heaped bucket capacity is 2.10 CY (1.6 CM). The machine is excavating sand and gravel
Bucket Loadbank = heaped volume x bucket fill factor x
load factor

3-3. A 2-CY (1.53 CM) dragline is being used to excavate a canal in common earth. The average swing angle is 70º, the average depth of cut is 8.9 ft. (2.7 m), and the job efficiency is 50 min/hr. Estimate the dragline’s hourly production in loose measure.
Job efficiency = 50/60 = 0.83
Swing-depth factor = 1.06 (Table 3-9)

Ideal output = 230 BCY/hr (176 BCM/hr) (Table 3-7)
Optimum depth = 9.9 ft. (3.0 m) (Table 3-8)
Production = ideal output x swing-depth x job efficiency
= 230 x 1.06 x 0.83 = 202 BCY/hr

3-5. An hydraulic excavator-backhoe is excavating the basement for a building. Heaped bucket capacity is 1.5 CY (1.15 CM). The material is common earth with a bucket fill factor of 0.90. Job efficiency is estimated to be 50min/hr. The machine’s maximum depth is of cut 24 ft (7.3 m) and the average digging depth is 13 ft (4.0 m). Average swing angle is 90º. Estimate the hourly production in bank measure.
Standard cycles/hr = 160 (Table 3-3)

Heaper bucket volume = 1.5 LCY or 1.15 LCM
Bucket Fill Factor = 0.90 (Table 3-2)
Job efficiency = 50/60 = 0.83
Load factor = 0.80
Production (loose) = C x S x V x B x E

194 LCY x 0.80 = 155 BCY/hr
= 160 x 1.08 x 1.15 x 0.90 x 0.83 x 0.80 = 119 BCM/hr
3-6. A small hydraulic excavator will be used to dig a trench in soft clay (bucket fill factor = 0.90). The minimum trench size is 24” (0.61 m) wide by 6’ (1.83 m) deep. The excavator bucket available is 30” (0.76) wide and has a heaped capacity of ¾ CY (0.57 CM). The maximum digging depth of the excavator is 17.5’ (5.3 m). The average swing angle is expected to be 90º. Estimate the hourly trench production in LF (m) if the job efficiency is 50 min/hr.

How many hours should it take an articulated wheel loader equipped with a 4 CY (3.06 CM) bucket to load 3,000 CY (2294 CM) of gravel from a stockpile into rail cars if the average haul distance is 300’ (91.5 m) one way? The area is level with a rolling resistance factor of 120 lb/ton (60 kg/t). Job efficiency is estimated at 50 min/hr.
Bucket fill factor = 0.95 (Table 3-2)
