This course has been prepared to meet a need for a fundamental knowledge on the subject of melioration and recreation methods and machines. After the giving of basic theoretical explanation, students will estimate the eartmoving production of machines and will make cost analysis and be able to use a recreation machines. Some practical excursions are carried out. Some problems and homeworks are assigned.
Agricultural substructure and soil and water potantial of Turkey; Land improvement, characters of melioration precaution. Technical specification of soil for leveling and cutting; Travel resistance, draft force and travel speed of melioration machines. Command systems for melioration machines. Slope control systems in agricultural land; Classification and selecting of melioration machines. Hard-pan problems, chiesel, subsoiler and ripper; Soil compaction machines. Dosers, Grading land for surface irrigation; Scraper; Laser controlled land leveller; Scraper-float, Graders, Excavators; Loaders, Land clearing and development and Stone picking machines. Terrace building technics and machines. Drainage technics and machines. Cost analysis of melioration machines. Recreation machines and practices.
