What’s on the Mass Haul poster?

6 numbered steps. The curve tells you where to dig and where to tip. Compute section areas — At each chainage, cut area and fill area kept separate.; Get volumes between — End area or prismoidal rule between successive chainages.; Apply bulking and shrinkage — Cut volume is not fill volume once material is moved an…; Accumulate along the line — A running total of cut minus fill draws the mass haul curve.; Read the balance points — Where the curve meets the base line, cut and fill balance out.; Plan the haul — Loops above the base line haul forward, loops below haul back.. Educational reference. Bulking factors, haul rates and disposal routes are contract matters under the specification.

Who is the Mass Haul poster for?

Mass Haul belongs to the Civil Engineering section rather than to a school year, because engineering is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning transportation can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the Mass Haul poster?

Planning earthworks on a linear scheme, and pricing the haul. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Mass Haul belongs on the wall where that engineering work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What other posters go with Mass Haul?

CBR & Subgrade, Road Cross Section and Horizontal Curves sit alongside Mass Haul in the Civil Engineering section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.

Is the Mass Haul poster free to download and print?

Yes. Mass Haul downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Civil Engineering section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.

What size does the Mass Haul poster print at?

Mass Haul is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Mass Haul loses nothing.

Mass Haul, step by step

The curve tells you where to dig and where to tip.

Compute section areasAt each chainage, cut area and fill area kept separate.
Get volumes betweenEnd area or prismoidal rule between successive chainages.
Apply bulking and shrinkageCut volume is not fill volume once material is moved and compacted.
Accumulate along the lineA running total of cut minus fill draws the mass haul curve.
Read the balance pointsWhere the curve meets the base line, cut and fill balance out.
Plan the haulLoops above the base line haul forward, loops below haul back.

Educational reference. Bulking factors, haul rates and disposal routes are contract matters under the specification.
