A straight section of a proposed road, between chainages 3450 m and 3550 m, is to be constructed on ground having a transverse slope, which rises at 1 in 7 from left to right, at right angles to the proposed centre line. The road is to be such that on any cross-section the formation level at the centre line is to be lower than the existing level and the area of cut is equal to the area of fill. The road design includes the following specifications: – side slopes are to be 1 in 1 for cuttings and 1 in 3 for embankments – formation width = 14.60 m – the centre line of the road between chainage 3450 m and 3550 m is to be level Calculate the volume of cut required to form the road between chainages 3450 m and 3550 m. i need a work out where you don't have to use tan and angles use the fomulas of finding areas and volumes in surveying, reference text book :Surveying for engineers by J. Uren and W. F. Price, thanks
