How to calculate the volume of fill
(OP)
I have a site layout where i need to calculate the volume of fill currently on site. The layout has contours shown, at which i have taken a section through each one, and calculated the area under the curve. Is this correct and what is the next step to take. I have the dimensions of my site. Is it as simple as taking this area and multiplying it by width and lenght of my site??
Thanking you in advance.

RE: How to calculate the volume of fill
For example:
If the area at contour 100 = 5000 sq ft
and the area at contour 101 = 4000 sq ft,
then the volume between the two contours is ( approximately )
(5000+4000)/2 * 1 foot = 4500 cu ft
good luck
