PREFA CE .

T HIS work claim s to present a new and systematized method offinding the prism oidal contents of Earthwork by m eans of T ablesaccompanied by Rules so plain and simple of application as to fit itfor the c omm on uses of Engineers.

When the ratios of the side slopes are constant between end sections of which the transverse surface lines are sensibly sim ilar, allordinary cases of thorough cut and fill, term inal pyram ids, side-hillwork

,and borrow pits are covered by Formulae andand the prismoidal contents for all side slopes and bases are

taken from T ables 4 and 5 by Rules andIn the m ethod used, the heights of equivalent level sections are

not involved,nor is any calculation needed for loo-feet lengths

beyond ascertaining the half- sum and the difference of two quantities. For the m ost part T ables do the work of the calculator

,and

any one who can approximate cubic contents by the rough m ethodof Average Areas i s competent to obtain the prism oidal contentsby the Rules given.

T he tables of level cuttings are not needed when areas are given ,and are included chiefly for use in prelim inary estim ates when theonly data are the centre heights and the angles of the transversesurface slopes. With these, the heights of equivalent level sections are readily found by Mr. T rautwine’

s well-known and very ingenions diagram s, than which for the purpose intended probably no bettermeans can be devised. W hen these heights hav e been ascertained

,

the use of the special Correction T ables in connection with those oflevel cuttings will reduce to a minimum the labor of computingthe prismoidal contents . If further tables of level cuttings are

considered necessary, the reader is referred to Mr. T rautwine’s

Excavation and Embankm ent,”or to the example given at the

end of this work, by careful attention to which any required tablemay be written out with entire accuracy in a few hours. Specialcorrections for any side slopes may be . obtained by Rule 12.

Not an inconsiderable advantage of the present m ethod is that, by

tents would be obtained.

If both the heights and bases are different and the sections areA+A

2and greaternot sim ilar, the m iddle area will be less than

and cannot be obtained directly from the end

areas. In such cases, the exact contents can be determ ined by theprism oidal formula only by first obtaining the dim ensions of theactual m iddle section and calculating its area

Practically in railroad earthwork it is only when the transversesurface lines of the end sections are very dissim ilar and the areasdiffer greatly in size that the resulting errors becom e important, andas at such points the cross sections are usually taken nearertogether

,it is very rarely the case that the m ethods of Roots and

Squares and Equivalent level heights fail of practical correctness.In cases of doubt, however, especially when the surface is warpedbetween the end sections, it is safer and better to obtain the area ofthe actual middle section before calculating the contents.

CORRECTION OF CONTENTS FOR CURVATURE .

T he following article was suggested by that given in Henck’s

Field Book,

”page 110.

In excavation on curves,although the cross sections are ac tually

staked out in the direction of the radii at the extrem ities of thechords, the calculation of contents is m ade as if these cross sectionswere perpendicular to the chords. In som e cases, especially wherethe transverse surface slope is considerable, this is the occasion of a

sensible error requiring a corresponding correction, the am ount ofwhich is determ ined as follows

to show Only the comparative facility of arriving at'

the prismoidalcontents by Mr. Morris

’s m ethods and those of the preceding rules

when the above condition of similarity is fulfilled, and not to

endorse the application of the m ethod of Roots and Squares (or°

of

the rules of this work) in cases where the hypothetical m iddle aream aterially differs from the actual onc .

*

Except by trial with the actual m iddle sectioir and the prismoidalformula

,it seem s almost impossible in cases of dissim ilar end sections

to know when the application of the m ethod of Roots and Squares,or

of the preceding rules, begins to fail of practical correctness, but itm ay safely b e assum ed that if the ground is properly and sufficientlycross sectioned , the 1 esults obtained by them will be practically theprism oidal contents.

T he above tabulated example shows all the steps necessary infinding the prism oidal contents in cubic yards when the areas are

given . Columns and (3) being written out, (4) is deriveddirectly from (3) by averaging (5 ) from (3 ) by adding area Of gradetriangle in thorough- cut (6) from (5) by table 3 (7) from (6) bysub traction (8 ) from (4) by table 4 (9) from (7) by table 5 and

(10) from (8) and (9) by subtraction .

Column (4) gives the average end areas throughout the out,

including the term inal pyram ids,and the only break in the routine

of adding the area of‘ the grade triangle in colum n (5 ) is at the point

where the cutting runs out on the lower side . ‘At such points twoareas have to be used, the one of earthworkplus the grade triangle,for computationof thorough- cut by Rule 1 , and the other of earthwork alone

,for the calculation Of the pyram id or side-hill work

into which the thorough-cut changes, and of which the computationof contents falls under Rule 2 .

Column (8) gives the contents between each two stations roughedout by the comm on m ethod of average areas

,column (9) the cor

responding error,and column (10 ) the prism oidal contents , all in

cubic yards.It is not strictly necessary to write out all of the columns given

above , but errors are so m uch more readily detected when all of thesteps are shown, that ordinarily tim e and labor will be saved byadopting som e system of tabulating sim ilar to the above

,both as

regards the number of columns and the arrangem ent by which thefigures referring to each two stations may be recorded on a linebetween them .

W ith equivalent level heights given,the above tabulated example

shows all the steps required in finding the approxim ate prism oidalconten ts in cub ic yards. Columns and (3 ) being writtenout

, (4 )- is derived

-

directly from (3 ) by averaging, and (5) from (3)by subtracting. T he table of level cuttings for a base of 20 feet andslopes 1 to 1 , from which column (6) should be taken, i s not published in this volum e, but its place may readily

'

be supplied by adding1 . to each of the helgh

ts of and taking 70 from each of

the‘ corresponding quantities in table '12L. Such remainders are theam ounts in colum n Column (7) is derived from (5) by table14

,and (8) from (6 ) .and (7) by addition.

In ordinary ground sloping transversely,the area of earthwork of

the term inal pyram id at the point where the centre height isnothing

,is about one-fourth of the area of the section where

.the

pyram id begins and practically, as only sm all quantities are concorned

,the equivalent level height corresponding m ay be taken as

one- fourth of that corresponding -to l

ithe area of the base Of thepyram id.

T he calculation of contents by equivalent level heights and

tables is well suited for prelim inary or approx imate estim ates,espe

cially if, as in the present case, when the sum of the tenths Of theend heights is uneven, the average is always

'

taken as the tenth next

greater than the actual half- sum .

T he variation between the conten ts of the thorough- cut from 1 to

1 7, as given in Examples 1 and 2, is due to the fact that the equivalent levcl heights are carried out to tenths only. In the presentcase, at a height of 20 feet the increm ent 1s ovor two cubic yards foreach of a foot

,and in embankment at the sameheight it 18

still greater. As in p1actice neither equivalent level heights northose of the tables of level cuttings are carried out to hundredths

,

one cause of the greater accuracy of the previous m ethod by Rules1 and 2 is evident . It may be replied that errors as important areinvolved

.in the field work

,the cross section stakes being set only

approxim ately but that an elem ent of error'

should voluntarily beintroduced into the calculations because another such alreadyexists in the data, is a position that will not be contended for

eriously.

REMARKS ON EST IMAT ING CONT ENT S

PROFILE EART IIWORK.

In addition to the cross sections at the regular stations, othersare necessary where changes begin in the character of the transversesurface slope, as well

'

as at all points where the surface line of theprofile changes its direction and all of the formulae and rules heretofore given for finding the contents suppose the solid to be betweentwo consecutive cross sections taken at such points.In passing from cutting into embankment, cross sections should

always be taken at the two points on opposite sides of the road-bedwhere the cutting runs out.” T his will obviate the necessity forstaking out the P.P.

”except with a zero point on the centre line,

as, in addition to accurate data for calculation of the pyram ids ofcut and bank which lie between the two cross sections thus taken

,

two m ore zero points, one on each side of the road-bed,will be

given. For like reasons, in passing from thorough into side hillcutting

,the point on the lower side where the excavation runs out

should be cross- sectioned.Where the original quantities of excavation

.

and embankm enthave been calculated, and the work is being done according to theslope-stakes and fi eld-notes, probably the simplest m ethod 01 Obtaining the quantities m oved in an unfinished cutting Or

l

embankment

is to take the average heights above or below the road-bed at eachof the several stations of that portion which has been worked upon

,

and then,. w ith Formula Rule 4, and tables, to calculate by

these heights the quantities rem aining to be done . T he latter subtracted from the original quantities between the sam e stations will,of course

,give the desired am ount.

When the material lies in strata, a sim ilar m eans may be usedfor determ ining the respective quantities of the diiferent kinds of

Page 40: forgottenbooks.com€¦ · PREFA CE. T HIS work claims to present a new and systematized method of finding the prismoidal contents of Earthwork by m eans of T ables accompanied by

39

excavation. For example, a’

cutting may be composed of earth attop, loose rock below the earth, and solid rock at bottom : theamounts then calculated by the loose rock heights, and deductedfrom the original quantities giving the earth, and the solid rocksim ilarly calculated and deducted from the am ounts obtained by theloose rock heights giving the loose rock. When the necessary ave

rage heights have been obtained, the quantities corresponding m aybe found very rapidly by Rule 4 and the propertables.

Forapproxim ate estimates, when the centre heights and transverse surface slopes only are given, the shortest m ethod is to find theequivalent level heights by T rautwine

’s diagram s, and then take out

the contents by Rule 4 .

When the work is carried on irregularly, no general rules forascertaining the true contents can be given. When the cross sectionsare very irregular and dissim ilar, the best practical rule is to takethem at very short intervals. T his in all cases reduces the error inthe calculation of contents to a m inimum .

A very careful and thorough investigation of the m athem aticalm ethods of calculating irregular earthwork is given in the article onEarthwork”in Henck

’s Field-Book,

”and to that the theoreticalreader is referred .

BORROW PITS.

For obtaining the contents of extensive borrow pits,the follow

ing will be found to be about as simple a m ethod as is consistentw ith correctness . Before the excavation is comm enced

,lay off the

surface in squares, rectangles, or triangles, small enough to be considered as plane surfaces

,and take elevations with the Level at all of

the corners. T hese elevations must be referred to a base which willbe below the bottom of the borrow pit when the work is finished.

A plan of the ground as laid ofi should then be m ade,and the

elevations above the base recorded on i t at . the corners. When an

estimate of the quantities excavated is to be m ade during the progress of the work, the horizontal lim its of the pit as then excavatedshould be taken, and inside of these lim its the whole of the groundagain divided into rectangles and triangles without reference to theform er surface divisions, the elevations above the base plane againbeing taken at all corners, including those on the surf ace at theedges of the pit.The original quan tity inside .oi the pi t lim its and down to t he

base plane, taken as a series of truncated prism s, should then be

calculated, and next the quantity rem aining inside of the pit lim its

and above the base plane . The difference between’

these am ountsgives the quantity excavated.

T he advantage of using an independent m ethod .of dividing upthe ground after the original surface has been rem oved is that itrarely happens that the best arrangem ent of these subdivisions forreducing to plane surfaces will agree accurately, either in size or

position, with those originally' taken on the ground surface . If,

however,the same divisions can be taken in the bottom of the pit as

originally on the surface, the difi erences of the elevations at eachcorner taken before and after the excavation is m ade will give theheights of the prism s, of which the contents may be obtained by a

single calculation.

In order to prevent the necessity for recalculating the finishedportions at each estimate, when any portion of the pit will not againbe disturbed, its lim its should be referenced on the ground and indicated on the plan, and its contents recorded separately.

T able 5 is for obtaining the corrections for computations by average areas. T he arithm etical difference between the correctionnumbers is to be found in whole numbers and tenths respectively, inthe left column and at the top of . the table, and the number correspending in the body of the table is the correction in cubic yards fora length of 1 00 feet. T hus if the difference of the correctien num

T he special tables of plus corrections give the correction forcomputation by averaging equivalent level heights. T he differencesof the end heights in feet and tenths respectively are in the leftcolumn and at top

,and the corresponding corrections for lengths

of 100 feet in the body of the table . Care must be taken to use thecorrection table with the half sum of the side slopes the sam e as thatof the table of level cuttings of which the contents are to be corrected.

T he special tables of m inus corrections give the corrections foraverage areas when entered with the heights of equivalent level sections. T he side slopes of the table must be the sam e as those of theend sections, between which the contents are to be corrected .

When the tables of minus corrections for special slopes areentered with the differences of the centre heights of the profileinstead of those of the equivalent level heights, in ordinary ground3. close approxim ation to the true c orrection is obtained.

For the special plus correction tables the half-sum of the sideslopes is indicated at the tap. For the special m inus correctionsthe slopes are indicated at the bottom of the sam e tables.
