Problems for Practice: 1. From station 10+100 with center height of 3.4m in cut has a ground line which makes uniform slope of -4% to station 10+180 whose center height in fill is 1.2m. Assume both sections to be trapezoidal having a width of roadway of 8.0 m and sideslope of 1:1 for both cut and fill. If the shrinkage factor is 1.3, compute the difference in volume of cut and fill in cu m. Answer: 996.18 m³
