Problems for Practice:

From station $10+100$ with center height of $3\mathrm{.}4$ m in cut has a ground line which makes uniform slope of $-4\%$ to station $10+180$ whose center height in fill is $1\mathrm{.}2$ m $.$ Assume both sections to be trapezoidal having a width of roadway of $8\mathrm{.}0$ m and sideslope of $1$:$1$ for both cut and fill. If the shrinkage factor is $1\mathrm{.}3,$ compute the difference in volume of cut and fill in cu m $.$ Problems for Practice:

From station $10+100$ with center height of $3\mathrm{.}4$ m in

cut has a ground line which makes uniform slope

of $-4\%$ to station $10+180$ whose center height in fill

is $1\mathrm{.}2$ m $.$ Assume both sections to be trapezoidal

having a width of roadway of $8\mathrm{.}0$ m and sideslope

of $1$:$1$ for both cut and fill. If the shrinkage factor is

$1\mathrm{.}3,$ compute the difference in volume of cut and fill

in cu m$.$

Answer: $996\mathrm{.}18m^3$
