Question: Using the grid elevations obtained from the site contour data, calculate the volume of earthwork required to grade the lot to the finished elevations indicated

Using the grid elevations obtained from the site contour data, calculate the volume of
earthwork required to grade the lot to the finished elevations indicated below. ALL
calculations must be submitted to get full marks.
The lot is to be graded to a downward slope of 0.5% from E to W from line G at an elevation of
460.00
Grid size is to be 10m10m
Compaction factor =0.80
Swell factor =0.77
Determine:
a) Volume of Fill Material - bank measure
b) Volume of Cut Material - bank measure
c) Volume of fill required-loose
d) Volume of cut to move - loose
e) Volume of import or disposal
f) Number of truck to remove/ haul material, if a
tandem dump
truck can haul 18.5m3 of loose material.
