STEPS FOR EARTH WORK COMPUTATION
Define Typical Cross Section
Apply Typical Cross Section:
Every Station
Station at pluses (ground breaks)
PT and PC
Where profile change from cut to fill or vise versa
Compute Area for each Cross Section
Compute Volumes between Cross Section
Typical Cross Section

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.
