Calculation of quantity of soil required for construction of dyke.
1) An embankment is to be built for a length of 150 m with top width 1 m and height of 3 m. If the side slope recommended is 1:1. Calculate the quantity of soil required for it.
A= BY+KY2
= 1 x 3 + 1 x 32
=12 m2
V = A x D
= 12 x 150 = 1800m3
or
A = h/2 (b + a)
=3/2 (1+7.0)
=12 m2
V = A x D = 12 x 150=1800m3
= 1 x 3 + 1 x 32
=12 m2
V = A x D
= 12 x 150 = 1800m3
or
A = h/2 (b + a)
=3/2 (1+7.0)
=12 m2
V = A x D = 12 x 150=1800m3
