in this slide you can get all application of mechanical equipment which are use in civil engineering work

1. APPRECIATION OF
MECHNICAL ENGINEERING
IN CIVIL ENGINEERING

2. INTRODUCTION
 It is a common fact that we find a wide verity of
construction machines on every construction site, which
makes the construction job easy, safe and quick.
 Depending on the application, construction machines are
classified in various categories, which are discussing here
1. Earthmoving equipment's
2. Construction vehicles
3. Material handling equipment's
4. Construction equipment's

3. EARTHMOVEING EQUPMENTS
 Earthmoving equipment is used in the construction industry to :
- shift large amounts of earth,
- dig foundations and landscape areas.
 Types of earthmoving equipment include
o Mini Excavator
o Industrial Excavators
o Wheel Loader
o Bulldozers

4. Excavator
 Excavators are heavy construction
equipment consisting of a boom,
stick, bucket and cab on a rotating
platform (known as the "house").
 The house sits atop an undercarriage
with tracks or wheels.
 Excavators are also called diggers
 Excavators are used in many ways:
o Digging of trenches, holes,
foundations
o Material handling
o Brush cutting with hydraulic
attachments
o Forestry work
o Demolition
o General grading/landscaping

5. Loaders
 A loader is a heavy equipment
machine often used in
construction, primarily used to
Load material (such as asphalt,
demolition debris, dirt, snow, feed,
gravel, logs, raw minerals,
recycled material, rock, sand, and
woodchips) into or onto another
type of machinery (such as a dump
truck, conveyor belt, feed-hopper,
or railcar).

6. Bulldozers
 A bulldozer is a crawler
(continuous tracked tractor)
equipped with a substantial metal
plate (known as a blade) used to
push large quantities of soil, sand,
rubble, or other such material
during construction or conversion
work and typically equipped at the
rear with a claw-like device
(known as a ripper) to loosen
densely-compacted materials.

7. CONSTRUCTION VEHICLES
 Engineering or Construction vehicles are heavy-duty vehicles, specially
designed for executing construction (Civil engineering) tasks, most frequently,
ones involving earth moving.
 Type of construction vehicles include
o Dumper
o Tanker
o Tipper
o Trailer

8. Dumpers
 A dumper is a vehicle designed for
carrying bulk material, often on
building sites. Dumpers are
distinguished from dump trucks by
configuration: a dumper is usually an
open 4-wheeled vehicle with the load
skip in front of the driver, while a
dump truck has its cab in front of the
load.
 The skip can tip to dump the load;
this is where the name "dumper"
comes from. They are normally
diesel powered. A towing eye is
fitted for secondary use as a site
tractor. Modern dumpers have
payloads of up to 10 tones and
usually steer by articulating at the
middle of the chassis.

9. Tippers
 A truck or lorry the rear platform
of which can be raised at the front
end to enable the load to be
discharged by gravity also called
tip truck.
 Tippers are suited for the rough
and tumble of mining & quarrying
operations, as well as for carrying
bulk loads in construction and
infrastructure industries. Complete
maneuverability, high performance
and long-term endurance are
common to all trucks, resulting in
lower operating costs.

10. Trailers
 A trailer is generally an unpowered
vehicle pulled by a powered
vehicle.
 Commonly, the term trailer refers
to such vehicles used for transport
of goods and materials.

11. Material handling equipments
 Type of material handling equipments include
o Cranes
o Conveyors
o Forklifts

12. Cranes
 A crane is a type of machine,
generally equipped with a hoist, wire
ropes or chains, and sheaves, that
can be used both to lift and lower
materials and to move them
horizontally. It is mainly used for
lifting heavy things and transporting
them to other places.
 It uses one or more simple machines
to create mechanical advantage and
thus move loads beyond the normal
capability of a man. Cranes are
commonly employed in the transport
industry for the loading and
unloading of freight, in the
construction industry for the
movement of materials and in the
manufacturing industry for the
assembling of heavy equipment.

13. Construction Equipment's
 Type of construction equipment include
o Tunneling equipment
o Concrete mixers
o Compactors
o Road rollers

14. Tunneling equipment
 A tunnel boring machine (TBM) also
known as a "mole", is a machine
used to excavate tunnels with a
circular cross section through a
variety of soil and rock strata.
They can bore through anything
from hard rock to sand. Tunnel
diameters can range from a meter
(done with micro-TBMs) to 19.25 m
to date. Tunnels of less than a
meter or so in diameter are
typically done using trenchless
construction methods or horizontal
directional drilling rather than
TBMs.

15. Concrete mixers
 A concrete mixer (also commonly
called a cement mixer) is a device
that homogeneously combines
cement, aggregate such as sand or
gravel, and water to form
concrete. A typical concrete mixer
uses a revolving drum to mix the
components. For smaller volume
works portable concrete mixers are
often used so that the concrete
can be made at the construction
site, giving the workers ample time
to use the concrete before it
hardens.

16. Concrete mixers
 Special concrete transport trucks
(in–transit mixers) are made to
transport and mix concrete up to
the construction site. They can be
charged with dry materials and
water, with the mixing occurring
during transport. With this process,
the material has already been
mixing. The concrete mixing
transport truck maintains the
material's liquid state through
agitation, or turning of the drum,
until delivery.

17. Compactors
 A compactor is a machine or
mechanism used to reduce the size
of waste material or soil through
compaction.
 In construction, there are three
main types of compactor: the plate
compactor, the "Jumping Jack" and
the road roller. The roller type
compactors are used for
compacting crushed rock as the
base layer underneath concrete or
stone foundations or slabs.

18. Road rollers
 A road roller (sometimes called a
roller-compactor, or just roller) is a
compactor type engineering
vehicle used to compact soil,
gravel, concrete, or asphalt in the
construction of roads and
foundations, similar rollers are
used also at landfills or in
agriculture.
