Prizmoidal Formula for Series of Cross-Section of Road Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Volume of Earthwork = Distance between Consecutive Sections/3*(Area of First Section+Area of Last Section+4*(Odd Areas Sum)+2*(Even Areas Sum))
Vearthwork = Dconsecutive c/s/3*(A1st+Alast+4*(Σ Odd areas)+2*(Σ Even areas))
This formula uses 6 Variables
Variables Used
Volume of Earthwork - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Earthwork is measured in cubic meters without any allowance for an increase in bulk.
Distance between Consecutive Sections - (Measured in Meter) - Distance between Consecutive Sections tells us the space between two consecutive cross sections of a given road.
Area of First Section - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of First Section defines the area of 1st starting c/s of the embankment.
Area of Last Section - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of Last Section defines the area of the last cross-section of the embankment.
Odd Areas Sum - (Measured in Square Meter) - Odd Areas Sum presents a summed value of areas of cross section present at odd positions in your embankment.
Even Areas Sum - (Measured in Square Meter) - Even Areas Sum presents a summed value of areas of cross section present at an even position in your embankment.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Distance between Consecutive Sections: 9000 Millimeter --> 9 Meter (Check conversion here)
Area of First Section: 7 Square Meter --> 7 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Area of Last Section: 17 Square Meter --> 17 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Odd Areas Sum: 250 Square Meter --> 250 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Even Areas Sum: 400 Square Meter --> 400 Square Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Vearthwork = Dconsecutive c/s/3*(A1st+Alast+4*(Σ Odd areas)+2*(Σ Even areas)) --> 9/3*(7+17+4*(250)+2*(400))
Evaluating ... ...
Vearthwork = 5472
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
5472 Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
5472 Cubic Meter <-- Volume of Earthwork

5 Quantity of Earthwork for Embankments Calculators

Mean Sectional Area Method
Go Volume of Earthwork = Length of Road Section*((Width of Formation Level*Height of Bank at Start Portion of Embankment)+(Side Slope*Height of Bank at Start Portion of Embankment^2)+(Width of Formation Level*Height of Bank at End Portion of Embankment)+(Side Slope*Height of Bank at End Portion of Embankment^2))/2
Mid Sectional Area Method
Go Volume of Earthwork = Length of Road Section*(Width of Formation Level*((Height of Bank at Start Portion of Embankment+Height of Bank at End Portion of Embankment)/2))+Length of Road Section*(Side Slope*((Height of Bank at Start Portion of Embankment+Height of Bank at End Portion of Embankment)/2)^2)
Prizmoidal Formula for Series of Cross-Section of Road
Go Volume of Earthwork = Distance between Consecutive Sections/3*(Area of First Section+Area of Last Section+4*(Odd Areas Sum)+2*(Even Areas Sum))
Trapezoidal Formula for Series of Cross-Section of Road
Go Volume of Earthwork = Distance between Consecutive Sections*(Area of First Section+Area of Last Section+2*(Remaining areas))/2
Sloping Surface Area of Embankment
Go Sloping Surface Area = Length of Road Section*Mean Height*sqrt((Side Slope)^2+1)

Prizmoidal Formula for Series of Cross-Section of Road Formula

Volume of Earthwork = Distance between Consecutive Sections/3*(Area of First Section+Area of Last Section+4*(Odd Areas Sum)+2*(Even Areas Sum))

About Prizmoidal formula for a series of c/s of road

The volume calculated by the prismoidal formula is based on the Simson’s 1\3rd rule. It is the most accurate method of calculating the volume. But to calculate the volume, the Trapezoidal method is mostly used. The difference of volume by both the formulas is known as a prismoidal correction.
