Dear Navid,
Its correct what you said but you need to generalize it into a scientific formula: if you have x meter of road and difference in height is between a and b (a

Its simple,
If there is major variation in height at different points, take height after every meter, add these heights and divide by 50.
Cheers
Sorry Guys,
I was not very clear in my previous message regarding road height calculations.
I will explain you by giving a small example.
Lets say I have 50 m road which varies in height by -1m to 5 m. How can I calculate the average height of the road section?
Please send me some notes if you have on any formulas you used in such excercise
thanks
Maybe I am missing Something but
(Height Section 1 + Height Section 2) / 2
= Average Height over two Sections
I seem to remember a thing called Simpson’s Rule, it is the average between any number of sections.
