How to calculate the volume for each cell ? |
Don't forget to divide by 27 to get cubic yards.
Add the results from each cell to get the total number of cut. Do the same for the total number of fill.
If the total number of cut is 1950cf and the total number of fill is 710cf, (1950/710) it's stated that the cut-to-fill ratio is 2.7.
This does not take into account shrinkage (settling and compaction) |

It's useful to know what is the difference of grade over a unit area if raised or lowered by 4 inches or 1 inch. |
A grade change of 20 cm over in area 50 hA results in a volume change of 1000 m³. Understanding this simple area to volume relationship for different depths will make the task about balancing cut-fill easier. |
