8.12) Based on the scraper specifications in Table 8.1 and the performance
charts in Figures 8.8 and 8.9, and for haul conditions as stated
here, analyze the probable scraper production. How many scrapers
should be used and what will be the production in bcy per hour? The
material to be hauled is dry clay. It has a unit weight of 3,000lbbcy.
The expected rolling resistance for the haul road is +4%. Assume
a 0.85-min load time and an average load of 86% heaped capacity.
Accelerate and decelerate at an average speed of 6 mph over a
distance of 300 ft . Use a 50-min hour efficiency factor. The total
length of haul is 3,400ft and has the following individual segments
when moving from cut to fill:
700ft,+3% grade
800ft,+2% grade
1,900ft,0% grade
