Trapezoidal Formula for Series of Cross-Section of Road Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Volume of Earthwork = Distance between Consecutive Sections*(Area of First Section+Area of Last Section+2*(Remaining areas))/2
V_earthwork = D_{consecutive c/s}*(A_1st+A_last+2*(Σ Remaining areas))/2
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Volume of Earthwork - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Earthwork is measured in cubic meters without any allowance for an increase in bulk.
Distance between Consecutive Sections - (Measured in Meter) - Distance between Consecutive Sections tells us the space between two consecutive cross sections of a given road.
Area of First Section - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of First Section defines the area of 1st starting c/s of the embankment.
Area of Last Section - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of Last Section defines the area of the last cross-section of the embankment.
Remaining areas - (Measured in Square Meter) - Remaining areas will be the summed value of areas of c/s excluding that areas of first and last c/s in embankment.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Distance between Consecutive Sections: 9000 Millimeter --> 9 Meter (Check conversion here)
Area of First Section: 7 Square Meter --> 7 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Area of Last Section: 17 Square Meter --> 17 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Remaining areas: 24 Square Meter --> 24 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_earthwork = D_{consecutive c/s}*(A_1st+A_last+2*(Σ Remaining areas))/2 --> 9*(7+17+2*(24))/2

Evaluating ... ...

V_earthwork = 324

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

324 Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

324 Cubic Meter <-- Volume of Earthwork

Trapezoidal Formula

One of the most widely applied formula for earthwork quantity estimation of embankment at site.
In order to apply the prismoidal formula, it is necessary to have odd number of sections giving the areas. If there be even areas, the prismoidal formula may be applied to odd number of areas and the volume between the last two sections may be obtained separately by trapezoidal formula and added.
