A New Method of Calculating the Cubic Contents of Excavations and Embankments, by the Aid of Diagrams (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Master the math of earthwork with a practical, diagram-based method.
This edition presents a clear, tested approach to calculating the cubic contents of excavations and embankments, using the Prismoidal Formula and a set of easy-to-use diagrams.
In this volume, you’ll find step-by-step guidance for applying the method to real-world roadwork scenarios. It emphasizes practicality, reduces heavy calculation, and shows how to adjust for slopes and irregular ground to arrive at reliable quantities.- How the prismoidal rule works across different shapes and soils
- How to read and use diagrams to convert depths and slopes into volumes
- When to rely on level cuttings and when to apply the centre-depth calculation
- Examples and tables that translate measurements into cubic yards and feet
Ideal for readers of practical engineering manuals, field engineers, and anyone working with excavation or embankment projects seeking a clear, diagram‑based approach.
