B) Stripping Top Soil (to be done after site clearing)
• Top soil - resulting from decomposition of vegetative matter -
unsuitable for use in embankment- Strip the top soil eg 150mm thick as mentioned in BQ/
drawings – stockpile - to be used for turfing work/ landscape
or to waste
• Some project, stripping of top soil is given as a separate item(Quantity as ‘Lump Sum’ or using rate ‘per meter square’) and
some used as part of the excavation
Eg Description in BQ:
‘Strip top soil to an average depth of 150mm and stockpilesfor reuse or dispose …… m2 or hectars

Graphical Presentation of earthwork:
3 kinds of views in the contract documents to show
construction features
1. Plan view – horizontal alignment of features (for roads, drainages,sewwerage etc)
2. Profile view (longitudinal section) – a vertical view – along the centreline of the work (for roads, drainages & sewerage)
3. Cross section view – a view formed by a plane cutting the work atright angles to its horizontal alignment (in plan) – for a road project the
cross section at every 50 meter or other suitable intervals – for a building
project, cross sections across building platform for few locations both
along X axis and Y axis
(Section X-X and Section Y-Y)
Earthwork for Road projects - Drawings 1, 2 and 3 are given in Contract

Earthwork Quantities:
Earthwork computation involve:1. Balancing cuts and fills
2. Calculating earthwork volume3. Planning the most economical material hauls – to left or right ?
1. Calculating earthwork volume:
Calculate a cross sectional end areasa) Use computer softwares or digitizing tablet
b) Use a planimeter (to measure are of cut or fill )
c) Sub divide of the project area into geometric figures eg
triangles, squares or rectangulars and the use of the trapezoidal formula- Triangle =1/2 hw
- Trapezoid = (h1+h2)x w where w= distance between 2 parallel sides
h1 & h2 lengths of the parellel sides
• Average end area = (A1 + A2)/2 in m2
• Volume = A1+A2 L/2 in m3

Calculating earthwork volume:
Example 1: Volume = 257,018 ccy
Example 2: Volume = 250,556 ccy
Same project but different in volume is due to
- In Example 1 – more cross-sectional areas are
taken ( 9 end areas) compare to Example 2 (only 7
end areas )
You will get accurate answer if you take more cross
sections !

Earthwork Quantities:
Calculating earthwork volume:
Net Volume• Volume of material in cut is different with volume of material in
fill
• Volumes for the fill = compacted volume= c meter cube
• Volumes from the cut = natural volume (in situ volume) = bankvolume = b meter cube
• If the cut and fill volumes are to be combined, they must be
converted into compatible volume
• b= (c meter cube)/0.9 …… Refer Table 3.1 Peurifoy pg 73

• A Mass Haul Diagram is a con t inuous curve
represent ing the cumulat ive volum e of ear thwork
along the l inear prof i le of a roadway or air f ield
• The accumulated volume of earthwork at the
horizontal axis (Y=0) is 0
• When a horizontal line intersects two or more pointsalong the curve, the accumulated volumes at those
points are equal
• A negative value at the end of the curve indicates that
borrow is required to complete the fill• A positive value at the end of the curve indicates that
a waste operation will be the net result

Mass Diagram Properties
A MD is a running total of the quantity of matl can show
surplus or deficient
• Excavation = ascending MD curve – between stn A&B, and between D & E
• Filling =decending MD curve – between B & D
• Volume of cut/fill can be calculated by a projection ofthe mass diagram line pts to the vertical scale
• Maximum or minimum pts on the MD = a change from
excavation to filling or vice versa at pts B and D
• When MD curve crosses the Datum Line (zero
volume) at C, no excess or deficit of matl at pt C
• At Stn E = waste situation, excess matl will have to be
hauled to dumping site

Characteristic of Mass-Haul Diagram – ref Shrivastava pg 145
• Mass haul curve represents the algebraic summation of the qty
of earthwork in the direction in which the chainage of the
station progresses
• If the algebraic summation (or cumulative volume) is plus it
indicates the cutting and is plotted upwards. If minus, it
indicates the filling and is plotted downwards, with reference to
base line
• The slope of the mass-haul curve changes with the volume
between station. If the curve is ascending, it indicates
excavation or cut. Decending curve indicate embankment or
fill.• The lowest point of a loop that form a sag, it occurs at the end
of the fill. The highest point of a loop that form peak, it occurs
at the end of the cut

• The vertical distance between a valley point and the next
forward ridge point gives the total volume of the cut. And the
vertical distance between a ridge point and the next forward
valley point gives the total volume of the fill.
• Between any 2 consecutive pts where a horizontal line or base
line intersects the mass haul curve, the qty of earthwork is
balanced.
• If the loop of the mass-haul curve is above the balance line,
the excavated matl is to be moved in the direction in which the
station progresses or from left to the right in the MHD. Where
the loop is below the base line, the excavated matl is to bemoved in the opposite direction or from right to left
• The maximum ordinate of any loop represent the total qty of
earthwork that is to be moved from cut to fill

Using Mass Diagram
• MD is an analysis tool for selecting appropriate equipment for excavating
and hauling matl
• Analysis using balance lines & calculating avg hauls
Balance lines:
• Horizontal line of specific length that intersects the MD in 2 places
• Can be constructed so that its length is the maximum haul distance for diff
type of equipment• Max haul distance the limiting economical haul distance for a particular
equipment (mc) – use to fix location for mc
• Ref- Table 3.2 pg 77
Machines Type Economical Haul Distance
Large dozer- pushing matl Up to 90m (300 ft)
Scrapers 90 to 1500m (300-5000ft)
Loader & Trucks Haul greater than 1500m

• For a large push-loader scraper, the distance between stns A
and C= 1500m (5000 ft) ref Table 2.2
• Between the ends of the balance in (A and C), at C the cut
volume = fill volume
• Between stn A and C, the amount of matl the scrapers will
haul = the vertical scale =‘Q’
• The avg haul the multiple balance lines and the area shown
is a rectangular.
• The avg haul distance = the length of a horizontal line placed
1/3 of the distance from balance line in the direction of thehigh or low pt of the curve
• It is when the general shape of the MD is a triangle ( 2
triangles)

• When the curve is above the balance line – direction of haul is from left to

• When the curve is below the balance line – direction of haul is from right to

• Length of the balance line = max or min haul distances for the balancedearthmoving operation - to conform to capabilities of equipment to be
utilised
• Equipment/mc to operate at haul distances within its range of efficiency
• In fig 2.8, dozers will be used to push the short haul matl.
• Using dozers the excavation between stns C and D will be placed betweenstns D and E

Average Grade:• When the MD & the project profile are plotted one on top of the
other, ref Fig 3.14. and Fig 3.15 , the avg haul grades of the
earthmoving operation can be approximated• On profile view, draw a horizontal line that divide the cut area
in half in vertical dimension. Do the same to fill area.
• The diff in elevation between these 2 lines provide the vertical
distance to use in calculating the avg grade for the haulinvolving the matl in the balance
• Avg grade % = (Change in elevation/Avg haul distance) x 100
• Ref Fig 3.14 - The avg grade from the cut to the fill
• = (-18 ft/203)x100 = -8.9%• The return trip will be up a 8.9% grade
