Inputs

Formulas

V_BA = n × A × B × h
V_propreté = n × A × B × e_p
V_fouille = n × (A + 2s) × (B + 2s) × H (parois verticales)
S_coffrage = n × 2 (A + B) × h

Assumptions

  • Vertical-sided excavation (shored or cohesive soil). For battered sides use the excavation calculator.

Fill in the inputs and run the calculation: results and every intermediate step will appear here.
