Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a new method for calculating the contents of earthwork. The method is claimed to be more accurate and easier to apply than previous methods, and it can be used for a variety of earthwork problems, including thorough cuts, embankments, and side-hill work. The book also provides correction tables for curvature, which can be used to improve the accuracy of calculations for earthwork on curves. The author's method is based on the prismoidal formula, which is a mathematical formula for calculating the volume of a solid. The prismoidal formula is often used for calculating the volume of earthwork, but it can be difficult to apply in practice. The author's method simplifies the application of the prismoidal formula by dividing the earthwork into a series of prisms and pyramids, and then calculating the volume of each prism and pyramid separately. This method is much easier to apply than the traditional method of using the prismoidal formula, and it can be used to calculate the volume of earthwork with a high degree of accuracy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332770489_0

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a new system for calculating earthwork by means of tables designed to simplify the process of finding the prismoidal contents of earthwork by means of tables accompanied by rules so simple that they are suitable for common use by engineers. The methods used in the book do not involve the calculation of the heights of equivalent level sections or any calculation for 100-feet lengths beyond ascertaining the half-sum and the difference of two quantities. The author's comprehensive investigation of principles and derivation of formulae is included for the careful reader, as well as notations, signs used, and an index of terms. This book claims to present a new and systematized method of finding the prismoidal contents of Earthwork by means of Tables accompanied by Rules so plain and simple of application as to fit it for the common uses of Engineers. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
