Instructions for Earthwork Machines Operation

FSI-NS0Acad. year: 2009/2010

The course “Rules for Earthwork Machines Operation” deals with basic criteria for the efficiency of earthwork machines. Also discussed are the following topics: The system of technical qualification approval and technical conditions of working machines operation on superficial roads. Vehicles brakes, vehicles driving, working mechanism. Procedure and requirements of the technical qualification approval of working machines. Methodology of processing the operating instructions for the manipulation with earthwork machines. Basic technical descriptions, technical data, working radius, operating instructions, maintenance schedule of individual aggregates (engine, working mechanism, undercarriages and brakes, hydraulic, pneumatic and electric circuits). Methodology of the qualification training and registration of the building machines operators. Legislative and technical requirements related to training.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will be made familiar with the legislative conditions related to the use of machines on building sites and superficial roads. They will learn how to train the machine operators, including organization of regular stuff training. Successful completion of the course is necessary for obtaining a driving licence for earthwork machines.

Prerequisites

Successful completion of the course is conditional on the basic knowledge of technical mechanics, machine parts and their mechanisms, and principles of electrical engineering.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The course is finished with a graded course-unit credit. It is awarded on condition of having attended the tutorials actively and worked out operating instructions and philosophy of staff training lessons for the selected earthwork machine. The mark will reflect the quality of the work, as well as number of points obtained in the test (0 to 50 points). It will be classified according to the Rules for Studies and Examinations valid at Brno University of Technology.
