V — Computations and Assumptions

The centerline formation rises at +0.50%+0.50\% from 100.000 m at Sta. 0+000, with a symmetric 2.00%2.00\% crossfall:

Ef(x,o)=100.000+0.005x−0.02∣o∣E_f(x,o)=100.000+0.005x-0.02|o|

Example at Sta. 0+020, offset −6 m-6\text{ m}:

Ef=100.000+0.005(20)−0.02(6)=99.980 mE_f=100.000+0.005(20)-0.02(6)=99.980\text{ m}

At Sta. 0+020, each sign-changing strip is split at the interpolated zero crossing before cut and fill areas are summed. Cut and fill are not netted within the mixed section.

Average End Area:

V=A1+A22LV=\frac{A_1+A_2}{2}L

First-interval cut volume:

Vc=A0+000+A0+0202(20)=29.431 m3V_c=\frac{A_{0+000}+A_{0+020}}{2}(20)=29.431\text{ m}^3

Net geometric balance:

44.313−34.413=9.900 m3 fill excess44.313-34.413=9.900\text{ m}^3\text{ fill excess}

Assumptions and conventions:

  • Left offsets are negative and right offsets are positive.
  • Positive ground-minus-formation is cut; negative is fill.
  • Ground changes linearly between measured offsets for trapezoidal area computation.
  • Volumes use the Average End Area method over 20.000 m intervals.
  • No shrinkage, swell, stripping, topsoil, or unsuitable-material factor is applied.
  • Reported volumes use unrounded section areas; the area table is rounded to three decimals.
  • Existing-ground observations remain separate from computed formation elevations and quantities.

VI — Remarks and Conclusions

A — Remarks

  • The alignment transitions from predominantly cut to fill.
  • Offset stationing, rod plumbing, interpolation across irregular ground, and missed break points are probable error sources.
  • Material factors are excluded; quantities are geometric only.
  • Mixed cut/fill at Sta. 0+020 was split at zero crossings.

B — Conclusion

The calculated geometric totals are 34.413 m³ cut and 44.313 m³ fill, giving 9.900 m³ fill excess under the Average End Area method. These values do not include construction material adjustment factors.
