Lecture $2$: Prints for Construction Phases

Class Activity $01-$ The conception phase

One of the first decision of any building construction projects is to locate the building. Among the factors contributing to this decision is the amount of cut and fill $($total excavation$).$ Ideally cut and fill should be balanced.

For the following example, first divide the entire building's pad into four equal regions. Second, add an approximate existing elevation to each corner of the regions $($note: use an average for the corners fall between two contour lines$).$

Last, fill the following table and calculate the cut and fill volumes.

Total Cut Volume $($cu$.$ ft$.)=$

Total Fill Volume $($cu$.$ ft$.)=$

Net Cut$/$Fill $($cu$.$ ft$.)=$

Show the cut and fill area on the example.

Locate the building to achieve less than $50cu.ft.$ net cut$/$fill and show the cut and fill area.
