available. You are required to calculate the earthwork volume using all methods i.e., mid sectional
area method, mean sectional area method, trapezoidal method, and prismoidal method.
following data from the details provided in Table 1 below:
1. Calculate all the PGLs against provided NSLs.
2. Draw cross sections of road at RD 0+050, RD 0+230.20 and RD 0+450 and label according to
the calculated data.
3. Also draw the final L-section of the road using MS Excel ® software.
4. Also mention total cut or fill for the given road at the end.
5. Calculate the percentage of variation in cut or fill from all mentioned methods.
Table 1: RDs and NSLs

2. s:1= 2:1
3. There is an upward grade of 1 in 150 from RD 0+000 to RD 0+100. And 1 in 100 upward
grades is provided from RD 0+100 to RD 0+460.47.
4. For drawing L-section of road, assume datum to be 2565 feet.
