Calculation of Earthwork and IS Codes

Question

Accepted Answer

Calculation of Earthwork involves determining the volume of earth to be excavated or filled based on the cross-sectional area and depth of the excavation.

Calculate the cross-sectional area of the excavation or fill using appropriate surveying techniques.
Determine the depth of the excavation or fill at various points within the area.
Multiply the cross-sectional area by the depth to get the volume of earthwork.
Consider factors such as shrinkage, bulking, and compaction when calculating the final volume.
Refer to relevant IS Codes such as IS 1200 for measurement of earthwork in excavation and IS 4082 for measurement of earthwork in filling.
