Explanation: Given Data: Formation width = 10 m Side Slope = 1:2 Central Height = 2 m Length of formation = 1 km
Total Area of this formation =
1
2
× [(10+18) × 2] Total Area of this formation = 28 m2 The quantity of earthwork required for a 1 km length of the formation = Total Area of this formation x Length of formation = 28 × (1 × 1000) = 28000 m3 The quantity of earthwork required for a 1 km length of the formation = 28000 m3
