  1. Area calculation

  2. Area is divided into triangles, rectangles, squares or trapeziums • Area of the one figure (e.g. triangles, rectangles, squares or trapeziums) is calculated and multiplied by total number of figures. • Area along the boundaries is calculated as • Total area of the filed=area of geometrical figure + boundary areas

  3. Problem-1

  4. Problem 1-Result

  5. Computation of area from plotted plan • Boundary area can be calculated as one of the following rule: • The mid-ordinate rule • The average ordinate rule • The trapezoidal rule • Simpson’s rule

  6. Mid-ordinate rule l

  7. Average ordinate rule

  8. Trapezoidal rule

  9. Simpson’s rule

  10. Problems • The following perpendicular offsets were taken from chain line to an irregular boundary: • Chainage 0 10 25 42 60 75 m • offset 15.5 26.2 31.8 25.6 29.0 31.5 Calculate the area between the chain line, the boundary and the end offsets. • The following perpendicular offsets were taken from a chain line to a hedge: Calculate the area by mid ordinate and Simpson’s rule.

  11. Area by double meridian distances • Meridian distance of any point in a traverse is the distance of that point to the reference meridian, measured at right angle to the meridian. • The meridian distance of a survey line is defined as the meridian distance of its mid point. • The meridian distance sometimes called as the longitude.

  13. Meridian distances of survey line: • m1=d1/2 • m2= m1+d1/2+d2/2 • m3=m2+d2/2-d3/2 • m4=m3-d3/2-d4/2 • Area by latitude and meridian distance • Area of ABCD=area of trapezium CcdD + area of trapezium CcbB – area of triangle AbB – area of triangle AdD • = m3*L3+ m2*L2-1/2*2*m4*L4-1/2*2*m1*L1 • =m3*L3+m2*L2-m4*L4-m1*L1

  14. Double meridian distance: • M1= meridian distance of point A + meridian distance of point B • M1=0+d1 • M2=meridian distance of point B + meridian distance of point C • =d1+(d1+d2) • =M1+(d1+d2) • M3=(d1+d2)+(d1+d2-d3)

  15. Area of the traverse ABCD = M3*L3+M2*L2-M1*L1-M4*L4 • Area by Co-Ordinates

  16. The following table gives the corrected latitudes and departures (in m) of the sides of a closed traverse ABCD. Compute the area by (a) M.D. method (b) co-ordinate method

  17. Volume calculation • From cross sections • From spot levels • From contours

  18. Measurement of volume • 3 methods generally adopted for measuring the volume are • (i) from cross sections • (ii) from spot levels • (iii) from contours

  19. Methods of volume calculation • Prismoidal method D2 A2 C2 B2 D2 D1 A2 A1 C2 C1 B1 B2 D1 A1 B1 C1

  20. Also called Simpson’s rule for volume. • Necessary to have odd number of cross sections. • What if there are even number of C/S? • Trapezoidal method: • Assumption mid area is mean of end areas. • Volume =d{(A1+An)/2+A2+A3+…+An-1}

  21. A railway embankment is 10 m wide with side slopes 1.5:1. assuming the ground to be level in a direction transverse to the centre line, calculate the volume contained in a length of 120 m, the centre heights at 20 m intervals being in metres 2.2, 3.7, 3.8, 4.0, 3.8, 2.8, 2.5. A railway embankment 400 m long is 12 m wide at the formation level and has the side slope 2:1. The ground levels across the centre line are as under: The formation level at zero chainage is 207.00 and the embankment has a rising gradient of 1:100. The ground is level across the centre line. Calculate the volume of earthwork.
