Abstract
Various approaches for computing cross sectional
areas in earthworks are treated. Proofs of different
formulae in the calculations are given, including
some examples on the applications.
Each method is analysed with sufficient depth in
order to easily infer its merit and limitations. The
methods, considered comparatively, are synthesized
and their relative stregth and advantages effectively
enunciated with examples.
Estimation of earthworks volumes and rationalization
of earthmoving patterns by the use of the Mass
Haul Diagrams in construction economy are also treated.
Recommendations on methods to adopt on every
situation and circumstance are contained in the
conclusion. Finally, advice is given about the
professional relationship that should exist on site
between the Civil Engineer and the Engineering Surveyor
when executing an earthworks project.
