using the Grid Volume Method for producing Cut and Fills we wanted to include
the volume correction factor of 0.85 for fill (fill will campact to only 85%
of what is used). When caluclating the cut and fill with the factor it seems
to work incorrectly. The fill is reduced by 15%. If I am thinking of this
correctly it should increase by 15%. Meaning we would need more fill to make
up for the compaction.
The Help says "Type a Cut factor and a Fill factor for the Grid Volumes
Corrections values. These values compensate for expansion and compaction of
the surface material, and help to determine the actual volume of material that
needs to be removed (the cut factor) or added (the fill factor) to the site.
n Cut factor: Compensates for the expansion factor of the material left
after the cut.
n Fill factor: Compensates for the compaction factor of the
fill material.
For example, for a material that expands 15 percent, type the value 1.15.
However, for a material that compacts to 93 percent of its original value,
type 0.93. A factor of 1.00 does not adjust the volumes"
Am I doing this wrong?
