Question
Consider the following data for a proposed highway project: At station 10+500, the
cross-sectional area is 20.98 m² in fill and the finished roadway slopes upward
producing a cross-sectional area of 26.80 m² in cut at station 10+950. The stationing
of the balancing point is 10+750. Free-haul distance is 50 m, cost of haul is PO.25 per
meter-station, and cost of borrow is P4.375 per cu. m.
a. Compute the limit of economical haul. Round off your answer to whole number.
b. Compute the stationing of the limits of free-haul distance. Round off your
answer to two decimal places.
c. Compute the free-haul volume. Round off your answer to two decimal places.
d. Compute the length of overhaul. Round off your answer to two decimal places.
