Aplicación informática para el cálculo de rendimientos y cantidades de maquinaria pesada para proyectos de obras civiles con énfasis en movimientos de tierra en Colombia.

Abstract

Through an investigation carried out according to Internet consultations, visits to the trading houses of heavy machinery in Colombia and consultations carried out in works, it was possible to determine that there is no specialized application in the calculation of yields of machinery for civil projects, which covers the activities required in a work corresponding to the earthmoving. With this project the arithmetic calculations corresponding to the yields of machines were standardized, taking into account the theory of the bibliography that will be cited throughout the work and through the technical files supplied by the houses supplying machinery in the country, taking Such as supporting existing software in this case Microsoft Excel and Visual Basic generating databases and a graphical interface to provide a simple visual environment and allow communication with the user and operating system. We used statistical processes that allowed us to produce more optimal values obtained from the machine comparison tables of the different brands to generate unified data values and thus to be able to perform the arithmetic calculations for the yields. The application projects a schedule of works according to the yields calculated from the processes previously named, the times generated will depend on factors such as the state of the machinery, the conditions of work and some external factors that can affect this time. As final product will be obtained the yields of the machinery consigned in the previous investigation of the existing equipment in Colombia and a quantity of machinery necessary for each one of the requirements of the user, taking into account the duration of work provided and the costs that will generate the Acquisition and maintenance of each machine. The costs of maintenance come from a series of surveys carried out to operators from different areas of the country and type of work, which provided us with the necessary information.
