Question:
Reduced level (R.L) of ground along the centre line of a proposed road from chainage 10 to chainage 20 are given below. The formation level at the 10 th chainage is 107 and the
road is in downward gradient of 1 in 150 upto the chainage 14th and then the gradient changes to 1 in 100 downward. Formation width of road is 10 metre and the side slopes of
banking are 2:1 (Horizontal:Vertical). Length of chain is 30 metre.
a. Draw longitudinal section of the road and a typical cross-section.
b. Prepare an estimate of earthwork and price it as per SI 01/36 of MES SR 2009.
c. Find the area of the side slopes and the cost of laying burnt bricks laid on edge on the slopes as per Sch Item (SI) 12-11 of MES SR 2009.
