Example: Table below shows ground and formation levels for road construction. Embankments are to be built with side slopes 1:2.5 and cuttings with slopes of 1:3.0.
The embankment crest width and cutting base width is 13m. Calculate soil volumes between Ch.: 0‐100 and Ch.: 100‐200.

Note: Red values correspondent to intersection between cut and fill on the longitudinal section. These values needed to be computed in order to get accurate values of the
cumulative volume (max and min).
