Earthworks - Theory & Concepts

Principles of excavation, grading, compaction, and soil mechanics in construction.

Calculate the net volume of earthworks based on total area, cut distribution, and average cut/fill depths.

Total Site Area (

A

): 1,000

\text{m}^2

Cut Area Percentage: 50%

Average Cut Depth (

D_{\text{cut}}

): 1.5 m

Average Fill Depth (

D_{\text{fill}}

): 0.8 m

Cut Volume (

V_{\text{cut}}

)750

\text{m}^3

A \cdot p_{\text{cut}} \cdot D_{\text{cut}}

Fill Volume (

V_{\text{fill}}

)400

\text{m}^3

A \cdot p_{\text{fill}} \cdot D_{\text{fill}}

Net Earthwork Volume:350

\text{m}^3

Status: Surplus Material (Waste Disposal Required)
