Loose: Vl
Loose cubic yards (LCY)
Density L Lb/LCY
Compacted: Vc
Compacted cubic yards (CCY)
Density C LB/CCY
Swell:
A soil increase in volume when it is excavated.
Bank density
Swell (%) = ( Loose density
- 1) x 100
Loose density
Load factor = Bank density
Exact values will vary with grain size, moisture content, compaction, etc.
Test to determine exact values for specific soils.

2. Contour Line/ Grid Method
Used for parking lots and site leveling
Grid size from 10x10 to 50x50
the greater the terrain variance the smaller the grid
Step l
Determine by visual study of the site drawing if the net total
will be an import (more fill required than cut) an export (less fill
required than cut) or a blend (cut and fill about equal)
Step 2
Determine the pattern of calculation points or grid size.
Step 3
Determine elevations at each calculation location, the corners of
each grid.
Step 4
Calculate the cubic yards of cut or fill required in each grid cell.
Step 5
Add the individual Grid Cell quantities together to arrive at the
total cut, total fill volume and the import or volume export yardage
required for the job.
