Module 1 Earthworks

The document provides information on methods for calculating earthwork volumes, including the end area method, prismoidal formula, and corrections. It also includes examples of field notes and cross section data from road construction projects. Surveyors are asked to use the data to calculate cut and fill volumes between stations using different methods.

METHODS OF CALCULATING VOLUME: Group of Surveyor of a certain road construction company.
Volume by End Area Method: The base of the roadway is 10m.
𝐴1 + 𝐴2 STA Cross Section
𝑉𝐸 = (𝐿)
2 0+200 9.2 4.3 0 4.3 5.5
+3.0 +4 +2.0 +1.5 +1.0
Volume by Prismoidal Formula:
𝐿
𝑉𝑝 = 6 (𝐴1 + 4 𝐴𝑚 + 𝐴2 ) 0+250 7.5 4.5 0 4 6
+2.0 +5.0 +4.0 +1.85 +2.8
Volume by Prismoidal Correction: 𝑉𝑝 = 𝑉𝐸 − 𝐶𝑝 a) Determine the area at station 0+200.

𝐿 A. 32.525 m2 C. 56.325 m2
𝐶𝑝 = 12 (𝐶1 − 𝐶2 )(𝐷1 − 𝐷2 ) For 3 level survey only
B. 12.652 m2 D. 45.256 m2
Volume by Correction for Curvature: 𝑉 = 𝑉𝐸 + 𝑉𝑐 b) Determine the area at station 0+250.
𝐿 A. 12.36 m2 C. 54.2 m2
𝑉𝑐 = (𝐴 𝑒 + 𝐴𝑠2 𝑒2 )
2𝑅 𝑠1 1 B. 18.25 m 2
D. 43.2 m2
e is positive if it is away from curvature and negative if
towards the curvature.
c) Determine the volume of cut using end area method.
1. Given the cross section notes below of the ground which
will be excavated for a roadway, compute the volume of 4. Given the following cross section fieldnotes of an
excavation between station 100+000 and 100+020; earthwork on a rolling terrain.

b) By Prismoidal Formula.
If the width of road is 12 meters and the side slope is 2.5:1
A. 1256.320 m3 C. 1856.225 m3 compute the volume using, End area correction for
B. 2044.256 m3 D. 1044.375 m3 curvature if the road is on 60 curve which turns to the right
with the given cross section.
A. 2563 m3 C. 4260 m3
B. 1852 m3 D. 2563 m3
c) By Prismoidal Correction.
5. A 40m x 50m borrow pit is to divided by 4 square sections.
A. 1256.320 m3 C. 1856.225 m3 The following are the elevations of the ground surface at the
B. 2044.256 m3 D. 1044.375 m3 corners of each square section of the borrow pit.

2. Given the following sections. Determine the volume of cut


and fill. By End Area method.
Base for cut= 9 m Side slope for cut = 1:1
Base for fill = 8 m Side Slope for fill = 1.5:1
