Transcribed Image Text:### Mass Diagram
**Description:**
The Mass Diagram provides a visual representation of earthwork volumes along a project alignment. It plots the net cumulative yardage of cut and fill against the stations of the project.
#### Diagram Details:
- **X-Axis (Stations):** Represents the stations along the project, ranging from 0 to 25.
- **Y-Axis (Net Cumulative Yardage):** Represents the volume of cut (excavation) and fill (embankment) in cubic yards, ranging from -5000 to 5000 cu. yd.
#### Key Points on the Curve:
- The points where the curve crosses the Y-Axis (net cumulative yardage) at zero indicate a balance between cut and fill.
- Positive values indicate fill (borrow), whereas negative values signify cut (excavation).
#### Specific Points on the Curve:
- Stations 0, 10, and 22 indicate zero net cumulative yardage.
- Station 5 has a net cumulative yardage of -3000 cu. yd.
- Station 7 shows a net cumulative yardage of 1500 cu. yd.
- Station 10 illustrates a peak fill of 3500 cu. yd.
- Between stations 7 and 10, and 16 and 20, corrective actions are taken to balance the fill and cut, indicated by green horizontal lines.
#### Calculation:
Given the Mass Haul Diagram and the following information:
- **Excavation Cost:** $3.50/cu. yd.
- **Borrow Cost:** $3.75/cu. yd.
- **Overhaul Cost:** $1.50/sta*cu. yd.
- **Free Haul Limit:** 600 ft.
The task is to compute the total overhaul cost.
#### Cost Calculation Options:
- $10,590.00
- None of these.
- $1,590.00
- $600.00
- $990.00
