Overview

Mass Haul Computation

Using the cut/fill data bellow, determine the total overhaul cost between stations 0+00 and 9+60 using the method of moments

Data:

Free Haul is 500ft

Overhaul cost is $11.00/yd^3-sta

Step 1: Determine free haul section

500 ft line between 0+00 and 9+60

Step 2: Determine the total number of cubic yards of overhaul.

Step 3: Determine the overhaul distance.

Use method of moments about free haul station

Use center of mass for cut or fill area

Break into sections of 1 station or less.

Step 4: Compute Overhaul Cost(overhaul distance)

(overhaul volume) * (contract price)Total cost of overhaul

Coh = Doh x Voh x $/cu Yd-sta
