How To Calculate Quantity Of Soil/Sand For Filling Plots

Soil filling is one of the essential features required for every construction projects. So that the site gets developed and prepared for construction. In this article, We will discuss how to calculate the quantity of soil/sand and no. of trally/tucks required for filling plot. Let, Length of the plot = 50 feet. Width of the plot = 40 feet. Area of the plot = Length x Width = 50 x 40 =2000 sft. Suppose we need to fill the plot by 3’5” = 3.41 feet. ∴ Depth of the plot = 3.41 feet. Volume of plot to be filled = 2000 x 3.41 = 6820 cft. This volume is for loose state. For full compacted state, required quantity of soil/sand for filling the plot = 6820 x 1.30 = 8866 cft (1.30 is factor) Now we will calculate required no of trally/ trucks. Suppose a trally can carry 70 cft soil. ∴ No. of trally rerquired = 8866/70 = 126.65 = 127 no. of trally. Suppose a truck can carry 500 cft. ∴ No. of trucks required = 8866/500 = 17.73 = 18 no. of trucks.
