Get the volume of the side of trench

9.92x1x0.46x2=9.126

0.6x1x0.46x2=0.552

Get also the volume of the slab assume 0.46m thick 

1.52x9.92x0.46=6.936

 

Total volume of concrete more or less=16.614 cubic meter (cover not included)

By multiplying the dimensions, it arises that the demanded volume equals 2.484 m^3.
