A cutting is to be formed on a section of a proposed road of formation width 10.00 m. The transverse slope at right-angles to the proposed centre line is 1 in 8 and the existing ground levels at chainages 1750 m, 1800 m and 1850 m are 176.32 m, 175.18 m and 174.87 m, respectively. The reduced level of the formation centre line at chainage 1750 m is 173.65 m and the formation is to have a falling gradient of 4% from chainage 1750 m to chainage 1850 m. The side slopes are to be 1 in 3. Calculate the volume of cut required to form the cutting between chainages 1750 m and 1850 m.

2) A cutting is to be formed on a section of a proposed road of formation width 10.00 m. The transverse slope at right-angles to the proposed centre line is 1 in 8 and the existing ground levels at chainages 1750 m, 1800 m and 1850 m are 176.32 m, 175.18 m and 174.87 m, respectively. The reduced level of the formation centre line at chainage 1750 m is 173.65 m and the formation is to have a falling gradient of 4% from chainage 1750 m to chainage 1850 m. The side slopes are to be 1 in 3. Calculate the volume of cut required to form the cutting between chainages 1750 m and 1850 m.
