Task 1

Conception of the excavation pit for a deep foundation

Planning of the construction site equipment
Determination of the number of cranes, location, dimensioning and costs

A multi-storey office and administration building is to be completed in 17

months by a general contractor.
The property consists of 5 "merging" building wings in different storey
heights with an inner atrium:

Wings I, II and III have the same dimensions: L = 24.50 m, W = 7.0 m and each
component has a total of 10 full floors, each with a height of 3.0 m.
Wing IV has 3 floors, each 3.0 m high: L = 15.50 m, W = 9.10 m. Wing V
has 2 floors, each 3.0 m high: L = 13.50 m; W = 8.20 m.

The entire property has a basement with the exception of a foundation depth of
-4.50 m below ground level as a parking garage and for rooms for building
technology, which is accessed via a ramp on the eastern edge of the building.
The surrounding foundations of the basement floor protrude on all sides by 30
cm beyond the dimensions of the outer edges of the building shown in the
drawing (= are not shown in the sketch). The thickness of the base foundations
on the blinding layer (d=5cm) is 100 cm, the rising reinforced concrete walls
60cm up to the ground floor base slab (d=25 cm).

The location of the construction site is inner-city: only the eastern part has a
property boundary to another private property, while the southern, western
and northern parts are bordered by a pedestrian walkway and a surrounding
road and thus touch "public" space.

The groundwater level is well below the floor of the parking garage. The
existing building ground consists of densely packed sand/gravel with slightly
loamy parts.

(1.) Draw the excavation conceptually true to scale in the site planthat
shows how the excavation will be secured and take into account the safety
distances and workspaces. The choice of securing the excavation pit should
primarily correspond to the technical necessities, but secondarily also be
subject to objective economic aspects (= no mathematical proof).

In addition, make a sketch of sections B, C and D with dimensions on a scale

of 1:50, which will clarify the entries you made in the floor plan.

(2.)Draw inSite plan of the site fencea- likewisealso in sections B and C!

(3.) Draw and measure the access roads to the construction site; consider
economic processes in the construction process for all deliveries - also against
the background of point (5.), which largely exclude hindrances as a result of
sensible development. In this context it should be noted that the turning
radius of a semitrailer is at least 23 m!

(4.) Plan the number of cranes or prove them for the planned
construction period:
Due to turnkey production, the number of cranes can be calculated using the
proportionality factor “m3BRI/crane*month" from the lower limit of a "mixed
construction" for the entire building from OKT 0.00 to over all 10 full floors.

1 crane month must be taken into account for the construction site set-up.
1 crane is required for the underground car park for a period of 6,800 man-
hours: the calculation shows that the underground car park is constructed with a
column of 10 men, each working 8.5 hours/day in 5 days/week.

Locate the locations and dimension the cranes in the site plan and take
into account the accessibility due to overpainting and the sufficient load
moment depending on the necessary operation of places from the
construction site facilities (see point (5.)). In this context, use an example to
demonstrate whether the crane(s) can head for the appropriate places and
also lift and move material. Make realistic (self-chosen) assumptions for your
calculations of the observed load moments.

(5.) The construction site requires the following facilities

Crew Quarters:
- 1 polishing container
- 1 magazine container
- 2 crew containers
- 1 sanitary trolley/container

site management

- 1 container GU
- 1 container builder

in-situ concrete batching plant

- see sketch/drawing
(the scale 1:22.22
doesn't fit here!)

- the crane operates this system with a concrete bucket for

concreting with a filling volume of 750l

space for reinforcement (bent rebar)

- about 150 m2

space for the formwork

- about 200 m2

Space for delivered steel constructions

- about 50 m2

Locate the facilities in the site plan in such a way that the production process
for the entire construction site runs as smoothly as possible.

(6.) Determination of the total costs for the duration of use and one operating hour (€/Bh)
for use on the construction site

For each crane (simplified), the following costs should be assumed from
AVR rates “ex works yard”:

- Crane superstructure €15,500/month

- 1 tower pieces a 700 €/ month
- Base tower piece €5,200/month
- Undercarriage €6,000/month

Each crane has the following performance and energy consumption:

Engine power: 70KW
Elevator performance: 45KW
(-> 30% of them in operation at the same time as the engine power)
Electricity consumption: 0.52 €/KWh

Depending on the construction site, the operating hours (operating hours/month) of the cranes, including
waiting times, account for 80% of the 160 operating hours (operating hours/month), the maintenance costs
10% of the operating costs.
At all times, each crane is fully operated by one crane operator. All tower parts
have to be transported to and from the construction site individually with a
heavy-duty low-loader. A single journey costs €1,100.
A mobile crane with 180 €/hour must be rented for assembly and dismantling
with a total duration of 5 days/crane.
In addition, 5 days/crane are required for assembly and disassembly; a crew
of 4 fitters.
A flat rate of €2,500 must be taken into account for the foundation of a crane.
The calculation average wage MASL for all wage work is €40/h. A month is
based on 20 working days with 8.5 hours/day.

Determining the performance of a wheel loader QB(fm3/H)

128,000 fm3pending medium-dense gravel sand with 7% water and 4% clay is

to be loosened with a wheel loader, transported and loaded onto on-site
trucks for a major road construction project within 4 weeks.

The contractor has a as the largest device available in his vehicle fleet

Wheel loader LIEBHERR L 523 119 KW

Max. payload of the shovel = 6.0 t Filling
volume of the shovel VR = 4.0m3

The wheel loader bucket release and loading time is 30 seconds. The
transport route is a construction road of 100 m. The basic speed when fully
loaded is 10 km/h under load, the empty run is 20 km/h. The tipping time on
the provided truck is to be taken into account with 15 seconds.

Check whether the available equipment is sufficient and, in the proven

negative case, calculate the minimum size of the theoretical filling volume of
the shovel VRaccording to manufacturer information.

The deployment time is to be assumed in a 5-day week hours/week;

fromOfa 40
this, ½
hour per day for tank and maintenance work must be taken into account for
the operating time.

8th
All illustrations, sketches, solutions and calculations that have been prepared must be
presented in a comprehensible manner.

If there are no technical specifications, sensible assumptions must be

made.

The thesis is to be submitted in paper form, stapled in a folder, to the Dean's

Office for Civil Engineering (Ms. Janet Heienbrock).
