The field engineer on a highway construction was left alone when the supplier of filling materials ask him on the total volume needed for the road embankment on station 10 + 040 to station 10 + 060. However the chief estimator is out for vacation and the estimate of filling materials is not yet available, therefore the engineer has no other option but to compute the volume of the required material. The base width given on plan is 12 m. and the height of fill at the left edge of the cross-section is 1.5 m., at the centerline the fill is 2 m. and the right edge of the fill is 5 m. At station 10 + 060, the cross section has centerline fill of 3m., at the right edge of the fill is 6 m. and the left edge the fill is 2.5 m. Assume even natural ground slope from left edge to the right edge of the cross-section. How many trips will be ordered if the capacity of the dump truck is five cubic meters per trip? Side slope is 2:1.
