QUESTION 2

A 700-meter road is to be constructed with a proposed formation width of 10m


and a side slope in filling and cutting of 1 in 1. Figure Q2 shows the longitudinal
section of the project, showing the original ground level and the proposed
formation level. (CO1-PO1) (C3)
a) Estimate the quantity of earthworks from chainage 0 to chainage 700.

x1 = 62.5 , x2 = 100 - 62.5 = 37.5m
X1 = 300 + 62.5 = 362.5m

100/6 = x3/2
x3 = 33.33 , x4 = 100 - 33.33 = 66.67m
X3 = 600 + 33.33 = 633.33m

If the side slope of the road is to be turfed, determine the turfing area required for
this road.
