Method and formula to determine quantity of soil in emb or subgrade

Question

Accepted Answer

The quantity of soil in embankment or subgrade can be determined using the method of average end area.

The method of average end area involves taking cross-sectional measurements at regular intervals along the embankment or subgrade.
The cross-sectional measurements are used to calculate the area of each section.
The average area is then multiplied by the length of the embankment or subgrade to determine the volume of soil.
The formula for calculating the volume is: Volume = Average Area x Length
For example, if the average area is 100 square meters and the length is 50 meters, the volume of soil would be 5000 cubic meters.
