YARDAGE CHARTS FOR ESTIMATING RIPPABLE AND 'DRILL-SHOOT' EARTH-ROCK

CHARTS HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO SUPPLEMENT AN EQUATION WHICH PROVIDES A SOLUTION FOR DETERMINING QUANTITIES IN SIDEHILL, THROUGH, AND COMBINATION SIDEHILL-THROUGH CUTS AFTER HAVING DETERMINED THE MAXIMUM TOTAL DEPTH OF CUT AND THE CORRESPONDING THICKNESS OR DEPTH OF ROCK AT THE SAME POINT. THE CHARTS ELIMINATE THE SHORTCOMINGS OF THE EQUATION, SIMPLIFY THE CALCULATIONS, TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION RATIO OF DEPTH OF CUT TO ROADWAY WIDTH AND SLOPE OF ORIGINAL GROUND, AND PROVIDE SUFFICIENT PRECISION IN KEEPING WITH AVERAGE ESTIMATING PRACTICES.
