Volume of the KamAZ body, how many cubes are in the dump truck: cubic capacity and capacity in tons

8 8 general questions [email protected] – sales department

One of the most important indicators of the country's economic development is the state of transport networks. That is why recently more and more attention in Russia has been paid to improving the quality of road surfaces, which will help increase freight traffic and optimize transport costs. The material for constructing road surfaces in the vast majority of cases is asphalt concrete, the need for which is calculated in m3.

Why is it necessary to know how many tons of asphalt are in 1 cubic meter?

The volume of the required amount of mixture is calculated when preparing estimate documentation. It uses m3 as a unit of measurement. Asphalt concrete mixtures are sold at factories in tons, so in order to guarantee maximum accuracy of calculations and purchase the amount of mixture strictly established by the estimate documentation, you need to know how much asphalt is in 1 cubic meter .

The consequences of errors when performing calculations are quite serious. If there is a shortage of asphalt concrete mixture, you will need to place an additional order for the material at the enterprise. This will entail an increase in transportation costs, and will also cause an additional joint to appear on the roadway. If there is an excess of material, part of it will remain unused, which will also lead to an increase in the cost of work.

What determines the weight of 1 m3 of cast asphalt?

In order to answer the question “ How many cubes are there in one ton of asphalt?” » It is necessary to know the type of mixture used in the work. Depending on the filler and its content, the density of the material will change, which directly affects the result of the calculations. Currently, there are several types of asphalt concrete mixtures, the density of which is regulated by the “Instructions for the construction of asphalt concrete pavements.” Thanks to the information contained in the document, you can easily calculate how many tons of asphalt are in a cube .

• Coarse mixtures

They are a building material with a grain size of up to 40 mm. The scope of use of mixtures is laying the bottom layer of a two-layer coating, both when performing repair work and when arranging new canvases. The weight of 1 m3 of coarse asphalt is calculated as the ratio of 1 ton of asphalt concrete mixture to its density (see Table 1).

• Fine grain mixtures

Gravel and crushed stone up to 20 mm in size are used as filler in fine-grained mixtures. Most often, mixtures of this category are used for laying the top layer of road surfaces, as well as for arranging pedestrian areas, parking lots, etc.

• Sand mixtures

Specifications

First, let's look at the technical characteristics of some models:

1. “Kolkhoznik”, or “Selkhoznik”, is a car with sides that open in both directions. These are models 55102, 5143. Model 55102 has been produced since 1981. It was more often used as a grain carrier. Some of these vehicles had high metal sides to increase the volume of cargo carried.
2. 65115 is often called the "15-tonner". Wheel formula - 6x4. Until 2006, the model had a 240 hp engine. After modernization, a Cummins 6ISBe 285 engine with a power of 285 hp was installed, meeting Euro-3 standards.
3. Option 6520 Lux is a construction, quarry, and agricultural dump truck. Body volume - 15-20 m³. It has enhanced noise and thermal insulation. The vehicle's carrying capacity is 20 tons. There is cruise control. Steering wheel with built-in remote control of the car computer. Automated centralized lubrication. The engine complies with Euro-4 requirements. Engine power - 400 hp. The gearbox is 16-speed. Fuel tank capacity - 350 l.

Calculation of cargo weight and selection of vehicles in two steps

Step one.

First you need to calculate the number of cubes of cargo and weight. To calculate the transportation of bulk cargo, it is advisable to use a table of the mass of different materials:

Sand sifted for construction according to GOST 8736-93.

KamAZ dump trucks differ in load capacity and body volume in cubic meters. So, for example, KAMAZ-6520, its load capacity is 20 tons, and the volume of the body is from 12 to 20 cubic meters (the sides are sometimes increased). KamAZ-65115, 15 tons, 10 cubic meters body. There are 12-ton, 14-ton dump trucks, and even 25-ton dump trucks. For this reason, you must first decide which dump truck will transport the cargo (which one from the KamAZ family).

Number of cubes in a Kamaz dump truck.

How to measure body volume

You can use a simple tape measure to measure the car body in length, width and height. Multiply the numbers together and we get the cubic capacity of the body. For example, 1.5 * 1.6 * 5 m = 12 cubic meters of loose crushed stone.

In the case of transportation of fine fractions, with an increase in the moisture content of the material, the volume of delivered products may decrease.

Dump trucks are ideal for transporting bulk construction materials. When using them, manual hard labor is not required to unload the machine, everything happens automatically. Dump trucks have increased maneuverability and are not afraid of weather conditions. Having a high carrying capacity, they transport a large volume of cargo in one trip.

When buying sand, crushed stone, soil, it is important to understand the required quantity and choose the right dump truck. It is not economically profitable to transport a small quantity by a heavy-duty vehicle; the cost of transportation will be significant. Sellers don’t care, they need to sell, but the buyer should know this fact, these are his funds.

How many cubic meters are in a Kamaz dump truck model 53111, 6520.

To find out the amount of m3 in a Kamaz dump truck of manure, soil, sand, gravel, snow and other materials, we estimate the capacity of the standard 13-ton 53111 and the 20-ton version 6520. Kamaz is the most common dump truck in Russia, and indeed in all CIS countries , it can be found at almost every construction site. Naturally, potential customers are interested in how much bulk materials, firewood, construction waste and all sorts of bricks will fit into the back of a given truck.

The standard volume of the KamAZ-55111 model dump truck is 6.6 cubic meters. That is, if the load is small, for example sand, then about 6 cubic meters will fit into the body. But if we are talking about transporting firewood and bricks, then we must remember that the machine has a carrying capacity of only 13 tons. Accordingly, the old Kamaz, especially with a dead engine, simply cannot transport too much cargo.

The dimensions of the KamAZ 5511 Dump Truck are presented in the table:

10000

There is also KAMAZ-6520, which is newer, its sides have been increased to 20 cubic meters, and its load capacity is also 20 tons. So, the result of how many cubes are in a dump truck can be seen in the table, different materials are calculated by density and weight, the table will be presented below.

Weight parameters and loads of KamAZ 6520:

• Vehicle curb weight, kg — 12950
• load on the front axle, kg - 5230
• load on the rear trolley, kg - 7720
• Car load capacity, kg - 14400 (20000*)
• Gross vehicle weight, kg …………………………………………………… 27500 (33100*)
• load on the front axle, kg - 7500
• load on the rear bogie, kg - 20000 (25600)

How many cubic meters of firewood can it hold?

Firewood is needed with the onset of cold weather, and therefore every owner of an individual house tries to order enough cubic meters of these logs to be enough for heating for the winter. Before placing an order, you need to know how many cubic meters of firewood are in a Kamaz truck in order to know whether to buy one car or two.

The amount of firewood will depend on how the logs are cut and stacked. If the logs are chopped, then the machine can hold 6.5-7 cubic meters of material.

Round wood takes up more space, so only 5 cubic meters of firewood .

You can buy firewood at a sawmill or sawmill. You will have to load it manually or using a special loader.

Earth (soil, black soil)

The bulk density of dry, plastic chernozem is 0.75 tons/cubic meter. The density of wet soil is noticeably higher and amounts to 1.1 tons / cubic meter. But with the earth it is not so simple. Due to the low bulk density, the calculated volume will be greater than the nameplate capacity of Kamaz according to its characteristics. And in the calculations it is necessary to start not only from the load capacity, but also from the capacity of the body of a particular dump truck model. As can be seen from the table, the calculated volume of earth significantly exceeds the actual one, which allows KAMAZ dump trucks to be loaded with heaped earth without exceeding the permitted load capacity.

Table No. 3 - Volume of land, calculation based on carrying capacity

Table No. 3-1 - Earth mass, calculation based on body volume

Sand

The bulk density of construction sand (GOST 8736-93) is 1.5 tons/cubic meter. For river and sea, the average value is already 1.6. Wet construction sand will have a value of 1.9 tons per cubic meter of volume. Those. 10 cubic meters of construction sand is 15 tons of weight. The exact density of bulk cargo is in the documents that the driver receives upon loading. Before ordering a dump truck, be sure to check this value with the supplier. For types of sand and their density, see the link. When calculating cubic capacity, the value was rounded down so as not to exceed the vehicle's carrying capacity, which is fraught with serious technical problems.
