Example 10.6 An embankment is to be formed with its centre line on the surface (in the form of a plane) on full dip of 1 in 20. If the formation width is 40 ft and formation height are 10, 15, and 20 ft at intervals of 100 feet, with the side slopes 1 in 2, calculate the volume between the end sections.

6) A straight section of a proposed road having a formation width of 7.30m is to be constructed as an embankment having side slopes of 1 in 3. At one particular cross-section, the transverse slope at right-angles to the proposed centre line is 1 in 20 and the height to the formation level at the centre line is 6.45 m. Calculate the area of fill required at this crosssection.
