This document discusses methods for calculating earthwork volumes for road construction projects. It explains how to:
1) Create a mass haul diagram by plotting cumulative cut and fill volumes against distance along the road. Cut volumes are positive and fill volumes are negative.
2) Calculate the cross-sectional areas of cuts and fills at different points along the road, using formulas for horizontal, sloping, and complex cross-sections.
3) Determine cumulative volumes along cuts by interpolating between cross-sectional areas, using methods like the prismatic rule or Simpson's rule. Factors like bulking and shrinkage must be accounted for.

In order to minimise material waste or borrow, it is necessary to produce what is called a
Mass Haul diagram. This is essentially a plot of cumulative volume of soil against distance along the road, often called the chainage. Cut volumes are taken to be positive and fill volumes to be negative. Calculation of Cross Sectional Area The first stage in the production of the Mass Haul Diagram is the calculation of the cross sectional areas of cut or fill at different points along the road. or a cut or fill on hori!ontal ground. Figure 1 " Typical Cut Cross #ection $ssuming a cut such as the one above, the cross sectional area is given by% $rea & h.'b ( 'nh)*' & h+'b ( nh, or a cut or fill on sloping ground Figure 2 " Typical #loping Cut Cross #ection $ssuming a cut such as the one above, the cross sectional area is found firstly by calculating -. and -/% -. & #+b(nh,*+#(n, -/ & #+b(nh,*+#"n, Thus $rea & 0+h ( b*n,+-. ( -/, " b)*n or more complicated cross sections, simply combine the above. It should be noted that this is 12T part of the design process for the slope stability. Cumulative Volumes 2nce the cross sectional areas are known at various points along the road, it is possible to calculate the cumulative volume along the cut by interpolating between the different points. The simplest way of doing this is to assume a straight line variation and use the prismatic rule. 2ther slightly more complicated methods involve using #impsons rule or similar. Do not forget to take account of the bulking factor or shrinkage factor although care should be taken not to use them both as this will produce incorrect results. If you are using the shrinkage factor then changes in volume due to e3cavation is accounted for automatically. The same is true for the bulking factor. EARTHWORK FORMULAS
