Calculation of volume of earth work as applied to roads and channels

Problem

3.Compute the volume of earth work from the following data.

Formation width = 10 m, Side slope -Embankment = 2:1, Cutting = 1.5 :1

Solution
Rising gradient -1 in 200
Depth of cut or height of bank between two stations = 1/200 x 40 = 0.2
