Stockpile Quantity Rough Estimates


Gents, struggling with estimating the quantities of aggregate stockpiles. Have no measuring equipment other than a measuring wheel. Stockpiles are typically only up to around 500t and very irregular in shape but there are up to a dozen of them. Material is discharged by lorry and loaded by wheel loader (hence the shape variation). I've been loking for some quick guides for various cmmon shapes. Any help greatly appreciated. Niff

Try This he following formula is used to calculate the volume of a stockpile if the diameter and height are known. Volume in cubic feet = 0.2618 x D2 x h D = Diameter of the base of the cone in feet h = Height of the cone in feet

In order to calculate the actual weight of material in the stockpile, determine the density or weight/cubic foot. Weight (tons) = Volume(ft 3) x density (lb/ft 3) x 1 ton/200 lb 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet 1 cubic foot = 0.037037 cubic yards CONICAL STOCKPILE VOLUMES (37 Angle of Repose) Weight in Tons at 100 lbs/cu foot 92 310 740 1440 2490 3955 5900 11525 19920 31630 47210 67220 92210

To find volumes and weights of stockpiles with other angles of repose, multiply those values in the table by the factor computed as follows.

stockpiles
FIRST and foremost you cannot trust any pile at any time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just walking by it is enought to possibly kill you or someone else.

volume of a cone: 1/3 *Pi*the radius squared *the height Unless the cone is uniform its useless. If the aggregate is the all same size or you have piles of the same size aggregate you can simply make a small trapezoid. I hope yout loader operator is leaving the loader on the ground and not crawling up the pile which will cause a tip over. No you cannot safely create a trapeziod while pushing the material up and over to create the flat top of the trapeziod. You can build a small trapezoid with the loader using this methodUsing the struck volume of the loader bucket only Create the base of the trapezoid by dumping the first two buckets of material on the outer edges of the measured width of three buckets widths wide. Now please follow this excactly:

Stockpile Quantity Rough Estimates

Take the third bucket of material and dump it in the behind the outside piles leaving the hole open between the two outside piles Continue adding material by dumping on the outside edges first following the outer pile line and then dump in the center to fill in the center. The trapezoid will form naturally following the edges of the pile to its angle of repose. If you make the trapezoid three buckets high and three buckets wide the ange of repose will form quickly for you with no issues and it will be easy to measure using the formula for the volume of a trapezoid. but measure it from the ground using an inclinometer please as the pile side walls can not be trusted even when stopped from sliding. Having the loader operator count buckets of struck aggregate using a hand held counter is safer for you and everyone else as you have no measuring equipment other than a wheel. Making a three bucket wide and three bucket wide trapezoid the way I described will e simple to do and be much safer. If you do not have a place where you can buy a counter the operator can simply count dtruck buckets and mark one bucket each time and stopping at five buckets to start a new count. When the stone is reclaimed the semi cones must be reclaimed from left to right and never taken in the center only as a mass slide of material will result. The small trapezoid will hold a lot of material for you

The volume of a trapezoid is determined using this formula; and can be done without a calculator Volume = length *(b1+(b2-b1)*h1/h+b1/2 Length ____________ Base1 ____________ Base2_____________ h total height_______________ h1 partial height _______________ Please work safely and stay away from the piles.

Dear Niff, Professional Experience 44 Years / 4 Month Discussions 934 , Articles 0 , Publications 3 Please Searching refer engineering nothing specified handbook or engineering tables for areas and volumes. You will find formula (412) , System engineering, Cost Estimation for Know-How volumes ofmaterial shapeshandling such as cube, cuboid, prism, cone, pyramid, frustum of cone, frustum of pyramid, cylinder etc. You have to imaginarily divide your stockpile into zones which have to match (equivalent) to the various shapes mentioned above. Then calculate the volume of the various zones, total them and multiply to it by bulk density. This will give you storage in tonnes. The accuracy of the result will depend upon skill. Obviously such calculation result cannot be 100% accurate, but it will serve your purpose. Also there is no other option. Such situation is quite common in civil engineering contract for excavation work, where civil engineer regularly work out the excavated quantity from irregular ground and consequently irregular shapes. If you have civil engineering department then contact them who may readily solve your problem. Regards, Ishwar G Mulani.
