2. Find the volume of excavation in BCM and LCM required for a trench 1.05m wide, 2.35m deep and
185m long. The soil type is clay. Assume that the trench sides are straight. Find the volume in CCM
if 30% of the excavated material is used for filling.
LCM =
CCM =
3. Find the volume of excavation in BCM and LCM required for a trench 2.25m wide, 1.35m deep and
235m long. The soil type is earth. Assume that the trench sides are straight. Find the volume in
CCM if 55% of the excavated material is used for filling.

6. Determine the volume of clay soil required for road embankment work 15km long, 8m width, and 1.2m
height at CH0 and 2.1m height at CH15. The embankment ratio to the right and left excavation
sides is 1:1.
7. Determine the volume of earth soil required for road embankment work 30km long, 6.5m width, and
0.8m height at CH0, 1.55m height at CH15 and 1.85m height at CH30. The embankment ratio to
the right and left excavation sides is 1:1.
