Excavation: pit or trench with side slopes

Inputs

Formulas

A₁ = L × l (fond) ; A₂ = (L + 2mH)(l + 2mH) (tête) ; A_m = (L + mH)(l + mH)
V_en place = H/6 × (A₁ + 4A_m + A₂) (formule des prismatoïdes)
V_foisonné = V × f

Assumptions

  • Level natural ground; identical slopes on all four sides.
  • Slopes and shoring must be set according to soil conditions and applicable safety rules.
