INVESTIGATION OF PROCESS OF INTERACTION WITH SOIL OF WORKING ELEMENT OF CONSTRUCTION MACHINE
The purpose of the presented work is to determine the volumes of moved soil when a plate imitating the working tool of a construction machine is inserted into it. To achieve the goal, experimental research methods were applied. The results of the studies were the recorded outlines of the volumes of moved soil during the movement. Visual observation of displaced soil masses in motion was not previously carried out, which indicates the novelty of the studies. Based on the results of the studies, conclusions were made about the volumes of soil masses moved by the plate.
