Area of cross
-section in cut and fill
case 1:center line at fill section
Case 2: center line at cut section
Example of the area calculation by midpoint ordinate rule
The following perpendicular offsets were taken at 10m interval from a survey
line to an irregular boundary line. The ordinates are measured at midpoint of
the division are 10, 13, 17, 16, 19, 21, 20 and 18m. Calculate the are enclosed by the midpoint ordinate rule.
Example:
The following offsets are taken from a chain line to an irregular boundary
towards right side of the chain line.
O1 O2 O3 O4 O5 O6 O7
Chainage(m) 0 25 50 75 100 125 150
Offset m 3.6 5.0 6.5 0.5 7.3 6.0 4.0
Common distance, d = 25m
-Volume Of Spot Levels
Example on Volume
A road at constant reduced level of 180.00 m runs NorthSouth direction. The ground in direction East West is Level.
The surface elevation along the center line of the road is as
follows.
Chainage (m) 0 50 100 150 200 250 300
Elevation (m) 190 188 187 185 183 186 182
Calculate the volume of the cutting given that the width of the
formation level is (24m) and side slope is 1.5:1.
Home Work:
Calculate the volume of cutting in m3 for a road from the
following data:
Distance Depth of cutting Natural Ground Level

Area of cross-section in cut and fill
case 1:center line at fill section
Area of fill=1/2 h*w
w= b/2 - c*n
d=b/2+h*s= h*n + c*n
h=(b/2-c*n)/(n-s)
d=(b/2-c*s)*(n/(n-s))
Area of fill = 遜(b/2-c*n)2 /(n-s)
Area of cut=1/2(b/2+c*n)2/(n-s)
Case 2: center line at cut section
w= b/2 + c*n
d=b/2+h*s= h*n - c*n
h=(b/+-c*n)/(n-s)
d=(b/2+c*s)*(n/(n-s))
Area of fill = 遜(b/2+c*n)2 /(n-s)
Area of cut=1/2(b/2-c*n)2/(n-s)

Example of the area calculation by midpoint ordinate rule
The following perpendicular offsets were taken at 10m interval from a survey
line to an irregular boundary line. The ordinates are measured at midpoint of
the division are 10, 13, 17, 16, 19, 21, 20 and 18m. Calculate the are enclosed
by the midpoint ordinate rule.
Given:
Ordinates
O1 = 10, O2 = 13, O3 = 17, O4 = 16, O5 = 19, O6 = 21, O7 = 20, O8 = 18
Common distance, d =10m
Number of equal parts of the baseline, n = 8
Solution:
Length of baseline, L = n *d = 8*10 = 80m
Area = [(10+13+17+16+19+21+20+18)*80]/8
= 1340sqm

Example:
The following offsets are taken from a chain line to an irregular boundary
towards right side of the chain line.
O1 O2 O3 O4 O5 O6 O7
Chainage(m) 0 25 50 75 100 125 150
Offset m 3.6 5.0 6.5 0.5 7.3 6.0 4.0
Common distance, d = 25m
Area = d/3[(O1+O7) + 2 (O3+O5)+4(O2+O4+O6)]
= 25/3[(3.6+4)+2(6.5+7.3)+4(5+0.5+6)]
Area = 843.33sqm
