Excerpt from A New Method of Calculating the Cubic Contents of Excavations and Embankments, by the Aid of Diagrams

There is but one correct principle upon which to calculate the cubic contents of excavations and embankments; and that is, by means of what is known as the Prismoidal Formula, or Rule.

Excerpt from A New Method of Calculating the Cubic Contents of Excavations and Embankments, by the Aid of Diagrams

It is sometimes advisable to increase the quantity of excavation to be taken from a cut,' in order to furnish earth for an adjoining embankment. When the value of land is not sufficiently great to constitute an objection, this may generally be most advantageously effected by merely increasing the side-slopes of the cut to2 to 1 but, where that would not be sufficient, it becomes necessary to increase the width of the cut at bottom also, and separate calculations must be made for the purpose.

No dia rams accompany the tables of level cuttings for side-slopes of i to 1, w ich are used only for rock; because with this side-slope, the transverse inclination of the round rarely affects the quantity of material to an important extent. Stil on every work on which much rock cutting occurs, a diagram should be prepared for the purpose.

Should other widths of roadway be adopted, new diagrams must be drawn for them; as also new tables of level cuttings calculated.

These new tables maybe easily made by merely adding to or subtract ing from the contents corresponding to every consecutive 710th of a foot of depth in the tables of level cuttings, an additional 741 of a cubic yard, for each 2 feet of width added or subtracted.

For example, suppose that the roadway, instead of 28 feet, is to be made 30 feet wide; with side-slopes of 1% to 1. Here.
