What is the total earthwork volumes in cu.yd if the finish pad elevation is set as 360'? What the cut volume? Fill volume? Import or export? BONUS: CREAT THE EXCEL CALCULATION FILE FOR THE ABOVE TWO PROBLEMS The final answer should be "linked to the provided design Pad elevation.

Explanation / Answer

Average elevation method: Find the average of the given elevations and if it is below that pad elevation, a fill would be needed to raise the elevation, but if it is higher than the pad elevation, then a cut would be needed.

Number of corners =n= 21,

average of the given elevation = Average Elevation= (359.5+359.3+....+360.5)/21= 359.871'

(1) Pad elevation = 357' <average elevation, so a cut has to be made, whose thickness = 359.871-357 = 2.871'

A= Area of pad = Number of square*area of one square = 12*20*20= 4800 ft2

so cut volume to be exported =2.871*4800= 13780.8 ft3 = 510.4 yd3

(2) Pad elevation = 360' > average, so a fill of thickness = 360-359.871 = 0.129' has to be imported.

Volume = 0.129*4800 = 619.2 ft3 = 22.93 yd3
