A CAT D8R track type dozer with universal blade (with tilt cylinder) is to be used to push a material that weighs 1500kgm3 in the bank state using a slot dozing technique. It is estimated that the material will swell 20%, from the bank to loose state. This hard to cut cohesive soil is to be moved an average distance of 30.5m(100ft) up a 10% grade under normal visibility condition. The operator is a new hire who has poor skills. Job efficiency is estimated to be equivalent to 45minhr. If the total amount of earth to be moved is 21,732Lm3, determine the number of dozers required to complete the work in five working days.
Note: The graph gives a maximum uncorrected production for a soil density of 1370KgLm3.
