Summary

  1. 1.

    Cohesive soil falls out of a sloping bucket in separate layers, with a thickness that depends on the angle of inclination of the bucket ϕ.

     
  2. 2.

    The form of the cross section of the internal surface of the soil remaining in the bucket after discharge of each consecutive layer is a parabola, and depends on the density of the soil in the bucket and the angle ϕ. To facilitate discharge of soil from the bucket in a position with ϕ=45−60°, the cross section of the bucket should have a similar shape.

     
  3. 3.

    The degree of filling of the bucket should not be more than 0.7, as further filling consolidates the soil and has an adverse effect on discharge.
