Cumulative Volumes

Calculate cumulative volumes from cross-section areas.

This function allows you to calculate volumes yielding a cumulative total of cut and fill. It is normally used to assess the amount of material in individual cuts or fills.

In all other respects, it is identical to the Masshaul Volume routine.

Procedure

1. The Volume Calculation Details display.

2. Fill in the relevant data and click Calculate to continue.

3. If you selected the Spreadsheet output option, the Save window displays so you can select a file to write to. The drive and path automatically default to the last used drive and directory for this type of file.

4. Calculations for the first defined range are carried out.

5. The Volume Calculation Details are then re-displayed. The start chainage defaults to the end chainage of the previous range. You can now:

• • Enter a new end chainage.

  • Change the topsoil stripping depth.

  • Change the Bulking/Compaction factor.

6. Fill in the relevant data and click Calculate to continue, or Results to Output to output the summary and end the function.
