6. Compute the volume between stations A and B using End area with prismoidal correction.
7. The cross-section notes shown below are for a ground excavation for a 10-m wide roadway.
Sta 25+100
7.85 L 0 8.45 R
+1.90 +3.20 +2.30
Sta 25+150
9.35 L 0 10.37 R
+2.90 +2.60 +3.80
What is the volume of excavation, in m3, between the two stations? Use the prismoidal formula.
8. The area in cut of two irregular sections 35 m apart are 34 m2 and 56 m2, respectively. The base width is 10 m
and the side slope is 1:1. Find the corrected volume of cut in m3, using the prismoidal correction formula.
9. Given a side slope of 2:1, a road width of 10 m and a cross-sectional area of 31.7 m2, find the value of x in the
following cross-section notes:
9.8 0 7.4
+2.4 x +1.2
10. From Station A with center height of 1.4 m in fill, the ground makes a uniform slope of 5% to Station B whose
center height is 2.8 m in cut. Assuming both sections to be level sections having a width of roadway of 10 m
and side slope of 2:1 for both cut and fill, compute the cross-sectional area of fill 8 m from Station A. Distance
from Station A to Station B is 60 m.
11. From Sta 12+180 with center height of 1.4 m in fill, the ground makes a uniform slope of 5% to Sta 12+240
whose center height is 2.8 m in cut. How far is the point of intersection of the ground and the road from Sta
12+180?
12. The volume of a borrow pit 90 m by 90 m is to be determined by unit area method. The area is divided by
equal square areas 30 m by 30 m. The height of earth at each unit area are as follows:
Row 1 3.2 m 2.8 m 3.6 m 4.2 m
Row 2 3.8 2.5 3.2 3.8
Row 3 3.1 2.9 3.3 3.0
Row 4 3.0 2.5 2.8 2.6
Find the volume of the borrow pit in cubic meters.
