| Abstract |
In many construction projects, such as dams, highways, airports, buildings, industrial plants, and sewerage and drainagesystems, earthmoving operation is defined the movements of a certain quantity of earth to alter the surface configuration orconditions so that projects requirement can be met. Accurate calculation of travel time is essential for determining productivityof earthmoving operations, and for ultimately selecting the most cost-effective fleet configuration for executing the work. Also,transportation work that utilizes dump truck consists average 6% in the whole expenses earthmoving operation, and is animportant cost factor for cost management. Therefore this study proposes a methodology for optimum transfer speed based onthe analysis of factors affecting earthmoving operation in different road types by collecting the sources of dump truck runningspeeds and considering the main factors affecting the earthmoving operation. |
