vol of earth work in embankment

Chainage 0 20 40 60 62.5

Area 19.74 16.56 12.01 1.215 0.00

here the intervals are not equal so we have to take the seperate volumes from
oth chainage to 60th chainage and 60th chainage to 62.5 chainage
V = Vol (0 - 60) + vol(60 - 62.5)

Vol of earth work in cutting

Chainage 62.5 80 100 120

Area 0.00 9.135 15.015 19.74

Volume (v) = vol (62.5-80)+Vol (80-120)
