Along a proposed road in Camp 2 Tuba Benguet, the volumes of earthwork between Successive crosssections 50 m apart are given in the table. Plot a mass-haul diagram for chainage 5000 to 5600, assuming that the earthworks were balanced at chainage 5000. The positive volumes denote cut and the negative volumes denote fill. Draw the balancing lines for the following cases: a) Balance of earthworks at chainage 5000 and barrow at chainage 5600. b) Equal barrow at chainages 5000 and 5600. Determine the costs of earthworks in the above two cases using the rates as under: a) Excavate, cart, and fill within a free-haul distance of 200 m (PhP 10.00/ m) b) Excavate, cart, and fill for overhaul (PhP 15.00/ m³) c) Barrow and fill at chainage 5000 (PhP 20.00/ m) d) Barrow and fill at chain age 5600 (PhP 25.00/ m)

A layer of fine sand exists over a stratum of impervious rock. The sand layer is 6.25m thick. The site is flooded and the water surface is 1.25m above the surface of the sand. It is proposed to excavate a very wide ditch through the site and to remove sand to a depth of 2.5m below the existing surface of the sand. One side of the excavation is to be supported by sheet piling driven to a depth of 4.4m below the existing surface of the sand.
