Question

The areas in cut of two points of level sections that are 75m apart are 36sqm and 72sqm. Side slope is 3H:2V and base width is 10m. Determine the Volume of excavation using the PRISMOIDAL METHOD and correct the computed volume using the formula for PRISMOIDAL corrections.

On the given pictures are the formulas to be use.

VOLUME by PRISMOIDAL METHOD
> Am (Area Middle) is determined by averaging the corresponding linear
dimensions of the end sections, and not by averaging the end areas Ai and A2.
Vr= (L/6) (A1 + 4Am + A2)
PRISMOIDAL CORRECTIONS:
Vc=VE - VP
Vc- (01-b2) (h1 -h2)
