How do we Calculation Cut and Fill? We look at three methods: Average End Area Method Contour Area Method Borrow Pit Method
Average End Area Method Typically used for linear projects such as roads, railroads, canals http://www.latinamericanstudies.org/erie-canal.htm
Find area of Fill and Cut separately for selected cross-sections Volume of Fill (or cut) between Two Cross-sections = [(A1 + A2)/2 ] * L Where: A1 is area of fill for Cross-section 1 A2 is area of fill for Cross-section 2 L is distance between 1 and 2
A refinement to this approach is used when A1 or A2 is an end cross-section (there is not fill or cut) In this case, (A1+A2)/2 * L Over estimates the volume since The shape of the earthwork is more Like a pyramid. In this case a more accurate formula Is [(A1+A2)/3] * L (Note there is an error in text for this formula)
