CUT AND FILL PROGRAM

File name is START. This program is divided into two components: 1. Cut and fill for design. 2. Cut and fill for existing boundary lines. The cut and fill used for design purposes can determine the volume of earth involved and balance the cut and fill. The input is in a form of template along with existing ground coordinates (in three dimensions). The existing boundary program generates cut, fill and volume for any subgrade configuration. (no balancing). The output may be printed by section or plotted in three views (plan, elevation and cross-section).
