How to Calculate and Solve for Volume of the cut on the land | Land Development

Last Updated on April 18, 2024

The image above represents volume of the cut on the land. To calculate volume of the cut on the land, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Grid spacing (L), Cut on grid corners (Σc), Fill on the grid corners (Σf).

The formula for calculating volume of the cut on the land:

V_c = ^L²(Σc)² / _{4(Σc + Σf)}

Where:

V_c = Volume of the Cut on the Land
L = Grid Spacing
Ec = Cut on Grid Corners
Ef = Fill on Grid Corners

Let’s solve an example;
Find the volume of the cut on the land when the grid spacing is 10, the cut on grid corners is 14 and the fill on grid corners is 8.

This implies that;

L = Grid Spacing = 10
Ec = Cut on Grid Corners = 14
Ef = Fill on Grid Corners = 8

V_c = ^L²(Σc)² / _{4(Σc + Σf)}
V_c = ^(10)²(14)² / _{4(14 + 8)}
So, V_c = ^{(100) . (196)} / ₄₍₂₂₎
V_c = ¹⁹⁶⁰⁰ / ₈₈
V_c = 222.7

Therefore, the volume of the cut on the land is 222.7.
