Example 10.6 An embankment is to be formed with its centre line on the surface (in the form of a plane) on full dip of 1 in 20. If the formation width is 40 ft and formation height are 10, 15, and 20 ft at intervals of 100 feet, with the side slopes 1 in 2, calculate the volume between the end sections.
