A railway embankment 400 m long is 12 m wide at the formation level. The side slope of the embankment is 2:1. The formation level at station zero is 107.00. The embankment has a rising gradient of 1 in 100. The ground is level across the centerline. Calculate the volume of earthwork using the prismoidal rule with the following observations:
