Earthworks 035 Level Section

This document provides instructions for solving a civil engineering problem using the end-area method to calculate excavation and fill volumes for a five-level road section. It includes station coordinates for two cross-sections and instructions to plot the cross-sections, determine the cross-sectional areas, and calculate the volumes using the end-area method. Students are asked to complete the problem by determining values for "a" and "b" and submitting it by the due date.

SOLUTION:
1. As mentioned in our discussion, always measure the horizontal distances
from the CENTER LINE – then plot the coordinates as shown in the figure.

SOLUTION:
3. Connect the centerline height to the coordinates until you reach the
farthest coordinate as shown. Now that you have your figure you can now
determine the area of the given cross-section.

• NOW THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO DRAW THE


CROSS-SECTION, DETERMINE THE
VALUES OF “a” AND “b” THEN FINISH
THE PROBLEM.
• THIS PROBLEM IS TO BE SUBMITTED
