MASS HAUL DIAGRAM Example Calculation The table below shows ground levels and formation levels for a proposed road construction. Embankments are to be built with side slopes of 1:2.5 and cuttings with slopes of 1:3.0. The embankment crest width and cutting base width is 13m. It may be assumed that the ground is horizontal across the section.
(a)
Construct a Mass Haul diagram for the project given the following: Bulking Factor = 0.8 Shrinkage Factor = 1.0
