Methods for Calculating the Volume of Filling Material in Road Rehabilitation Sites

摘要

Calculation of volumes on a road rehabilitation site is one of the most important responsibilities of a constructor. It must respect the project and execute site works correctly as possible, using as possible the exact amount of material at the dimensions and elevations required by the designer. There are cases where material quantities are exceeded with the permission of the beneficiary and the designer, but those volumes must be justified by high precision measurements, tables of calculations and other documents demonstrating quantities exceeding reasons. In this paper we analyze and compare two methods of calculating the volume: tabular method and the 3D method, using specialized software. I took as example calculations resulting from data before and after the execution of crushed stone fill in a roadside box.
