Title: Earth Work: Cut and Fill

In the figure, Af is the area of fill, and Ac the area of cut. The side slopes are S1 and S2 the natural
surface slope 1 in and C be the point of zero cut. The center line in the filling portion.

From figure,
1 𝑏
We get area of fill portion, A𝑓 = × ( + 𝑛ℎ) × ℎ1 ……………(i)
2 2

Again from figure,


𝑏
𝑊1 = ( + 𝑛ℎ) + 𝑆1 ℎ1 = 𝑛ℎ1
2
𝑏
⇒ + 𝑛ℎ = 𝑛ℎ1 + 𝑆1 ℎ1
2
𝑏 + 2𝑛ℎ
⇒ ℎ1 (𝑛 − 𝑆1 ) =
2
𝑏 + 2𝑛ℎ
∴ ℎ1 =
2(𝑛 − 𝑆1 )
Putting the value of h1 in equation (i) we get area of fill
1 𝑏 (𝑏 × 2𝑛ℎ)
𝐴𝑓 = × ( + 𝑛ℎ) ×
2 2 2(𝑛 − 𝑆1 )

(𝑏 + 2𝑛ℎ)2
=
8(𝑛 − 𝑆1 )
Similarly,

Area of cut portion,


1 𝑏
A𝑐 = × ( − 𝑛ℎ) × ℎ1 ……………(ii)
2 2

Again from the figure,


𝑏
𝑊2 = ( − 𝑛ℎ) + 𝑆2 ℎ2
2
𝑏
⇒ − 𝑛ℎ = 𝑛ℎ2 − 𝑆2 ℎ2
2
𝑏 − 2𝑛ℎ
⇒ ℎ2 (𝑛 − 𝑆2 ) =
2
(𝑏 − 2𝑛ℎ)
∴ ℎ2 =
2(𝑛 − 𝑆2 )
Putting the value of h2 in equation (ii) we get area of cut,
1 𝑏 (𝑏 − 2𝑛ℎ)
𝐴𝑐 = × ( − 𝑛ℎ) ×
2 2 2(𝑛 − 𝑆2 )
(𝑏 − 2𝑛ℎ)2
=
8(𝑛 − 𝑆2 )
