Calculate The Volume of Sand Aggregates In Dipper Truck

In the construction field all time we all need to calculate the quantity of sand and aggregates on site in the truck. so must be we know how to calculate the volume of Sand Aggregates In the Dipper Truck or Dump Truck. Some trucks have the same shape like the same length and height but some trucks have different lengths and heights.

Calculate The Volume of Sand Aggregates In Dipper Truck

we calculate the volume of sand and aggregates with the help of some given data like length and height and width.

Given Data

Base length of the dipper truck = L1 = 5m

Top site length of the dipper truck = L2 = 5.5m

Height of the dipper Truck = H =2.1m

Breadth or Width of the dipper truck = B = 1.6m

Solution

The volume of the sand and aggregates in the dipper truck =?

The volume of the sand and aggregates in the dipper truck = L × H × B

we have two lengths of the dipper truck = L1 and  L2

so first we calculate the average length of the dipper truck =?

Average length of the dipper truck = L = L1 + L2 /2

The average length of the dipper truck = 5 + 5.5/2 =5.25m  

The volume of the sand and aggregates

The volume of the sand and aggregates in the dipper truck = L × H × B

The volume of the sand and aggregates in the dipper truck = 5.25 × 2.1 × 1.6

The volume of the sand and aggregates in the dipper truck = 17.64m³

We Know

The Density of sand =1520  to 1600 kg/m³

The Density of Aggregates =1750kg/³

Weight of sand and Aggregates =?

Weights of sand

Weight of sand = volume of sand × Density of sand

Weight of sand = 17.64m³ × 1600kg/m³

Weight of sand = 28224 kg

Weights of Aggregates

Weights of Aggregates = volume of Aggregates  × Density of Aggregates

Weights of Aggregates = 17.64m³× 1750 kg/m³

Weights of Aggregates = 30870 kg
