How to Calculate Mean Sectional Area Method?
Mean Sectional Area Method calculator uses Volume of Earthwork = Length of Road Section*((Width of Formation Level*Height of Bank at Start Portion of Embankment)+(Side Slope*Height of Bank at Start Portion of Embankment^2)+(Width of Formation Level*Height of Bank at End Portion of Embankment)+(Side Slope*Height of Bank at End Portion of Embankment^2))/2 to calculate the Volume of Earthwork, The Mean Sectional Area Method formula is defined as calculating the volume of earthwork by taking a mean of those sectional areas, and finally, we multiply obtained mean sectional area by length of road section to get total volume of earthwork. Volume of Earthwork is denoted by Vearthwork symbol.
How to calculate Mean Sectional Area Method using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Mean Sectional Area Method, enter Length of Road Section (Lsection), Width of Formation Level (B), Height of Bank at Start Portion of Embankment (d1), Side Slope (S) & Height of Bank at End Portion of Embankment (d2) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Mean Sectional Area Method calculation can be explained with given input values -> 360 = 20*((10*1.201)+(2*1.201^2)+(10*1.6)+(2*1.6^2))/2.
