This document provides examples and steps for calculating earthwork quantities for roads and canals. It includes sample problems showing how to calculate the cross-sectional area of a canal cutting using the width, depth, and side slopes. It also shows how to calculate earthwork quantities using the mid-sectional area method and mean sectional area method by considering the ground level, formation level, height/depth at different stations, and length between stations. Formulas and tables with chainage, height, depth, areas, and quantities are provided for illustrative examples.
