11. Computing Volumes Average-End-Area Where, V = volume (cu yd) A = area end sections (ft 3 ) L = distance between end sections (ft) Where, V = volume (m 3 ) A = area end sections (m 2 ) L = distance between end sections (m) U.S. Units Metric Note: 1 yd 3 = 27 ft 3

12. Computing Volume - Example Determine the earthwork volume between Stations 100 and 101 using the average area method if the road width is 30 ft. The cut side slopes are 2 : 1. StationLeftCenterRight 100+00C8.0 31.0 C6.0 0.0 C5.0 25.0 101+00C6.0 27.0 C4.0 0.0 C2.0 19.0
