Problem $1$

A roadway section is $20$ stations long. The cut and fill volumes are to be computed between

each station. The table below lists the station numbers $($Column $1)$ and the end areas $(f{t}^3)$

between each station that are in cut $($Column $2)$ and that are in fill $($Column $3).$ Material in a fill

section will consolidated $($known as shrinkage$),$ and for this road section, the shrinkage factor is

$10\%.$ Determine the net accumulation of cut or fill beginning with station $0+00($i$.$e$.$ Mass

Diagram Ordinates$)$ and plot the results, using Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet $($or an equivalent

computer program$).$
