Soil filling is one
of the essential features required for every construction projects. So
that the site gets developed and prepared for construction. In this
article, We will discuss how to calculate the quantity of soil/sand and no. of
trolly/tucks required for filling plot.
Let,
Length of the plot
= 40 feet.
Width of the plot =
30 feet.
Area of the plot =
Length x Width = 40 x 30 =1200 sft.
Suppose we need to
fill the plot by 3’5” = 3.41 feet.
∴ Depth of the plot = 3.41 feet.
Volume of plot to
be filled = 1200 x 3.41 = 4092 cft.
This volume is for
loose state.
For full compacted
state, required quantity of soil/sand for filling the plot = 4092 x 1.30 =
5319.6 cft= 5320 cft. (1.30 is factor)
Now we will
calculate required no of trolly/ trucks.
Suppose a trolly
can carry 70 cft soil.
∴ No. of trolly rerquired = 5320/70 = 58.45 = 76 no. of
trolly.
Suppose a truck can
carry 500 cft.
∴ No. of trucks required = 5320/500 = 11 no. of trucks.
