Formula and assumptions

Vc = L W D; Vl = Vc × loose/compacted ratio; Vo = Vl (1 + waste/100); mass = Vo ρ.

Depth is average compacted depth. Ratio is loose volume divided by compacted volume; density is loose bulk density. Supply site-specific values. Excludes slope geometry, settlement and soil suitability.

10 × 5 × 0.3 m, ratio 1.2, waste 5%, density 1600 kg/m³: order 18.9 m³, 30.24 t.
