I. GENERAL KNOWLEDGE 7mrks

1. Give three importance of construction equipment 1.5mrks
2. List 2 factors affecting the choice of construction equipment 1.5mrks
3. Draw the cycle of each equipment
+Dump Truck +concrete mixer 2mrks
4. List by giving one application three type of concrete vibrating equipment 2mrks
II. CONCRETING EQUIPMENTS 8mrks
To cast in 3 hours’ time a slap of 15m×12m×0.15m situated at 12.60m from the ground. We use a crane
that supplied a concrete mixer

The cycle of the crane is as follow;

 Loading time…………………………………………………………………..1.15mn
 Ascending…………………………………..velocity………………….….40m/mn
 Orientation of the bucket………………………………………………….0.7mn
 Off loading of the bucket………………………………………………….2.74mn
 Orientation of the empty bucket……………………………………….0.7mn
 Descending………………………………..velocity……………………….30m/mn

We consider the batching coefficient as 20% and coefficient of vibration of the concrete mixer as 6%. The
company has many bucket of capacity 750l; 900l, 1100l, 1200l, 1350l and 1500l

1. Determine the duration of the cycle 2mrks

2. Determine the number of cycle for this job 2mrks
3. Select after calculation the best crane bucket 2mrks
4. Calculate the capacity of the mixer 2mrks

III. HOISTING EQUIPMENTS 2mrks

A truck of 6m3 capacity is used for transportation of earth material supplied by a loader of output 2Om 3/h of
bulked earth.

What is the loading of this truck

IV. HOISTING EQUIPMENTS 3mrks
