    This document discusses the calculation of cut and fill volumes between stations for a 2 km long roadway section. It provides the end area values and station coordinates. It calculates the net volume of cut and fill required between stations and the net accumulation. It also discusses calculating extra compensation for overhaul costs when balancing cut and fill between points, and determining the economical overhaul distance versus wasting/borrowing material.

    1. A roadway section is 2 km long. The cut and fill volumes are to be computed between each
    station. The end area values on each station (fill and cut) are given in the table. The shrinkage
    factor is 10%. Determine the net volume of cut and fill that is required between the stations and
    the net accumulation of cut/fill beginning with station 0. Plot the results.

    Note: For the sake simplicity the L=100 m

    Between station 0 and 1: Volume of cut=(0.3+0.2)*100/2=25 m3

    Volume of Fill=(1.8+5)*100/2=340 m3

    2. For the above question, if the free haul distance is 600 m and the overhaul price is 3
    Br/m3/100m. Compute the extra compensation that must be paid to a contractor to balance the
    cut and fill between point P and Q.
    Solution:
    First find the stations of the node by interpolating

    Between station 9 + 00 and 10 + 00 => Station P= 9 + 60
    Between station 17 + 00 and 18 + 00 => Station Q= 17 + 63
    Then determine the balance points. They are found to be
    Stn. B= 10+60 and Stn. Of D= 16+60
    Find the ordinate of B and D - by interpolation
    Ordinate of B = 1256.1 m3
    Ordinate of D = 1287 m3
    The volumes at both points are not equal. Hence we need take the average i.e. 1271.55 m3

    The overhaul distance can be computed as (from 9+60 to 10+60)
    From 9+60 to 10+00- Volume = 546 m3
    Distance from B=60 + (1000-960)/2=80 m
    From 10+00 to 10+60 Volume = 1271.55-546= 725.55 m3
    Distance from B = 60/2=30 m
    Using method of moments
    The overhaul distance moved from 9+60 to 10+60 = (546*80+725.55*30)/1271.55= 51.5 m
    From 16+60 to 17+63
    From 17+63 to 17+00 Volume= 823 m3
    Distance from D = 60 + (1763-1700)/2=91.5 m
    From 17+00 to 16+60 Volume = 1271.55 – 823= 448.55 m3

    Distance from D = 60/2 = 30 m
     Overhaul distance moved from 16+60 to 17+63 = (823*91.5+448.55*30)/1271.55= 69.80 m
     Total overhaul distance = 51.5+69.8= 121.3 m
     The overhaul cost
    = 3 Br/100m/m3*1271.55m3*121.3 m
    = 4627.17BR
    3.For the above question if the cost of excavation at the borrow pits (borrow pits is within the free
    haul distance) is 6 Br/m 3, find the economical overhaul distance. Which is more economical-
    hauling or to waste/borrow materials.
    Solution:
    Let Ce= cost of excavation (Br/m3)
    Cb= cost of excavation at borrow pits (Br/m3)
    Cov= cost of overhaul (Br/m3/m) = 3 Br/m3/m
    Le= economical overhaul distance (m)
     Cost of 1 m3 material from cut and overhaul to fill is
    = Ce + Cov*Le
     Cost to excavate from cut, waste, borrow and place 1m3 material to fill
    = Ce + Cb
     The economical limit between the two is when they are equal
     Ce + Cov*Le= Ce + Cb
     Le= Cb/Cov=6/(3/100)=200 m
     The overhaul distance from problem no. 2 is 121.3 m
     121.3 m < 200 m
     Therefore, it more economical to haul to fill.
