CHAPTER 24 CIVIL DRAFTING
PROBLEMS
INSTRUCTIONS
Determine the sheet size based on the drawing requirements.
Use a border and architectural-style title block as described in
Chapter 22, Structural Drafting. Metric scales can be substituted
if preferred by your supervisor or instructor. Include a north ar-
row and note the scale where applicable.

PROBLEM 24.14 A proposed highway is shown. Using an
angle of repose of 1:1-1/2 and a contour interval of 109, and as-
suming the proposed highway will be level with an elevation of
120 feet, draw the proposed cut and fill areas. Use different
symbols for the cut and fill. Make your drawing proportional
to the given drawing.
PROBLEM 24.15 The building site needs some contour
changes to accommodate the new house being built. Draw a
profile line along line A-A, showing the cut and fill needed.
Draw the profile at 10 5 409 horizontal and 10 5 109 vertical.
Make your drawing proportional to the given drawing.
