Draw the profile and line of construction with suitable horizontal and vertical scales. If the grade of proposed line of construction is 1:400 upwards and it begins from a point at an elevation of (15.0 m) at the zero distance. Calculate the volumes of cut and fill for the proposed highway if its width is 10 m and side slopes 2 horizontal to 1 vertical for both cut and fill.
