A Mass Haul Diagram in Civil 3D is a graphical representation of earthwork quantities along a linear project, such as a road or railway. It helps:
1. Visualize earthwork balance: Identify areas of cut and fill. 2. Optimize earthwork distribution: Minimize haul distances and costs. 3. Analyze haul costs: Estimate costs associated with earthwork movement.
Key components:
1. Mass haul curve: Graphical representation of earthwork quantities. 2. Free haul distance: Distance within which earthwork can be moved without additional cost. 3. Overhaul distance: Distance beyond free haul distance, incurring additional cost.
