Question

Which one of the following is measured by the area between the balancing line and themass-haul curve ?

• A. Haul between the balancing points
• B. Earthwork accumulated up to that point
• C. Excess of excavation
• D. Excess of filling

Answer 1

The correct option is A Haul between the balancing points

In the mas - haul curve , the maximum ordinate of any loop represents the total quantity of earthwork to be moved from cut to fill. The area bounded by a loop of the mass diagram and the base line/balance line measure the haul in that section.
