Volume in a Borrow Pit

5me Problme
A 90 x 90 m square lot is divided into 9 square
sections. The following data are the elevations
at the corners of the square sections on the
ground surface of the lot. If the ground is to
be leveled at elevation 5 m, find the total
volume of earthworks to be excavated.
A = 8.3 m B = 7.9 m

C = 10.8 m D = 6.8 m

E = 7.6 m

F = 9.2 m

G = 10.6 m H = 8.6 m

I = 7.2

J = 10.2

K = 9.4 m

M = 7.2

N = 6.2

O = 9.6 m P = 8.9 m

1r Problme
From station 10 + 100 with center height of 3.4
m in cut has a ground line which makes
uniform slope of -4% to station 10 + 180 whose
center height in fill is 1.2 m. Assume both
sections to be trapezoidal having a width of
roadway of 8.0 m and side slope of 1:1 for
both cut and fill. If the shrinkage factor is 1.3,
compute the difference in volume of cut and
fill in cu. m. (Ans: 996.18 sq m.)
