Short distance transportation in the mixed peat swamp forests of Sarawak, Malaysia

Creator:

Manikam, Doraisingam

Abstract:

The peat swamp forests of Sarawak are an important resource in the context of the socio-economic development of the state. Logging is the main activity in these forests. In the absence of an economical mechanized system, the method of harvesting has evolved into a highly organized effective manual system. Though...

Capstone Project
Swinging and processing whole tree, tree length, and log length pieces in a Douglas-fir thinning

Creator:

Burrows, James O.

Abstract:

This paper describes a study done on swinging and processing whole tree, tree length and log length pieces in a smallwood Douglas-fir thinning. Two machines were evaluated, a 70 horsepower rubber tired skidder and a hydraulic loader mounted on a 6 x 4 live tandem truck. The study took place...

Capstone Project
Evaluation of productivity and cost of chain saw vs manual tools in the Chir pine forests of Pakistan

Creator:

Siddiqui, Asif Kamal

Abstract:

To improve the present state of Forestry and the condition of forest workers is an important goal to be achieved in developing countries. With the growth of population, demand for wood products is increasing tremendously. Prices have gone up manyfold. One way to meet this demand is to increase productivity...

Resource Type:

Capstone Project
Field test to determine the static forces on the pendulum swing balloon logging system

Creator:

Tuor, Brian L.

Abstract:

This paper represents preliminary engineering analysis on the pendulum swing balloon system. It also describes an analysis of measurements taken in the summer o.f 1982, during a field test of a 37,000-foot3 balloon used as a prototype model under static conditions. This work established the influence of important variables on...

Capstone Project
Factors influencing residual stand damage levels due to cable thinning of coniferous stands in western Oregon

Creator:

Caccavano, Michael P.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine the significant variables influencing the damage levels sustained by the residual stand after skyline thinning of coniferous stands. Damage levels were measured in ten study areas in western Oregon that had received their first commercial thinning. For this post-logging study, 38 units...

Resource Type:

Capstone Project
Determining labor and equipment costs of logging crews

Creator:

Bushman, Stephen P.

Abstract:

Small, independent logging contractors can benefit from cost control and cost planning. This report details the labor and equipment cost components of a logging crew. Records, both required and available for determining costs, are discussed. Recommended costing procedures are illustrated. Although the study took place in the Pacific Northwest, the...

Resource Type:

Capstone Project
A simulation of the operation of a log landing for a heli-stat airship in old-growth timber

Creator:

Gerstkemper, John C.

Abstract:

This paper discusses the development of a computer simulation program for the operation of a log landing for the proposed Helistat airship. The first part of the paper describes the time study used to develop production rates for the chasers, buckers, front-end loaders, and skidders to be used on the...

Resource Type:

Capstone Project
Predicting and quantifying recreation and harvesting interaction with a geographic information system

Creator:

Boyd, David W.

Abstract:

This paper documents a study of the potential for using Arc View, a GIS software program, to evaluate possible interactions between timber harvesting impacts and recreational uses of adjacent forest roads and trails. Data on hiking, biking and horse riding was used to define recreational uses on specific trails. Harvesting...

Capstone Project
Production rates and residual stand impact for four skidding machines during overstory removal

Creator:

Seifert, Jon Carl William

Abstract:

This study compares production rates and costs for four ground skidding machines and for four harvesting treatments. The four machine types studied were a Caterpillar 060 crawler (060), Caterpillar 518 rubber tired skidder (RTS), FMC 200 CA (FMC), and International TD-8E crawler (TD-8E). Two treatments, conventional/whole tree and designated/tree length,...

Masters Thesis
An economic analysis of final log manufacturing locations in the steep terrain radiata pine plantations of New Zealand

Creator:

Murphy, Glen E.

Abstract:

Over the next quarter century there will be about an eight-fold increase in the volume of wood harvested annually from New Zealand's steep terrain radiata pine plantations. With the move to steeper terrain it is expected that there will be a trend towards considerably smaller landings. With smaller landings final...
