5. Question - An earthwork contract was awarded to excavate and backfill the foundation of a proposed 75-ft by 75-ft office building. The existing grade elevation is 37.00-ft while the sub-base for the below grade basement is 31.50-ft. The concrete contractor requires a 3-ft perimeter walkway in order to place the concrete formwork. Soil conditions are classified as OSHA Type B soils which require 1H:1V side slopes. The total volume (yd³) excavated is most nearly: a. 1525 b. 1561 c. 1588 d. 1598

Question

I am studying for the FE civil. The solution to the problem uses the volume of a truncated pyramid. Although, the FE handbook does not provide the formula for a truncated pyramid. I was wondering if it could be solved some other way with formulas provided in the FE handbook.
