Area calculation
• Area is divided into triangles, rectangles, squares or trapeziums• Area of the one figure (e.g. triangles, rectangles, squares or
trapeziums) is calculated and multiplied by total number of figures.• Area along the boundaries is calculated as
• Total area of the filed=area of geometrical figure +
boundary areas
Problem-1
Problem 1-Result
Computation of area from plotted plan
• Boundary area can be calculated as one of the following rule:– The mid-ordinate rule– The average ordinate
rule– The trapezoidal rule– Simpson’s rule
Mid-ordinate rule

Average ordinate rule
Trapezoidal rule
Simpson’s rule
Problems• The following perpendicular offsets were taken from chain line to an
irregular boundary:– Chainage 0 10 25 42 60 75 m– offset 15.5 26.2 31.8 25.6 29.0 31.5
Calculate the area between the chain line, the boundary and the end offsets.
• The following perpendicular offsets were taken from a chain line to a hedge:
Calculate the area by mid ordinate and Simpson’s rule.
chainage 0 15 30 45 60 70 80 100 120 140
offsets 7.6 8.5 10.7 12.8 10.6 9.5 8.3 7.9 6.4 4.4
• Area by double meridian distances– Meridian distance of any point in a traverse is
the distance of that point to the reference meridian, measured at right angle to the meridian.
– The meridian distance of a survey line is defined as the meridian distance of its mid point.
– The meridian distance sometimes called as the longitude.

• Meridian distances of survey line:– m1=d1/2– m2= m1+d1/2+d2/2– m3=m2+d2/2-d3/2– m4=m3-d3/2-d4/2
• Area by latitude and meridian distance– Area of ABCD=area of trapezium CcdD + area of
trapezium CcbB – area of triangle AbB – area of triangle AdD
– = m3*L3+ m2*L2-1/2*2*m4*L4-1/2*2*m1*L1
– =m3*L3+m2*L2-m4*L4-m1*L1
• Double meridian distance:– M1= meridian distance of point A + meridian
distance of point B
– M1=0+d1
– M2=meridian distance of point B + meridian distance of point C
– =d1+(d1+d2)
– =M1+(d1+d2)
– M3=(d1+d2)+(d1+d2-d3)
• Area of the traverse ABCD = M3*L3+M2*L2-M1*L1-M4*L4
• Area by Co-Ordinates
• The following table gives the corrected latitudes and departures (in m) of the sides of a closed traverse ABCD. Compute the area by (a) M.D. method (b) co-ordinate methodSide Latitude Departure

Volume calculation
• From cross sections
• From spot levels
• From contours
Measurement of volume
• 3 methods generally adopted for measuring the volume are– (i) from cross sections– (ii) from spot levels– (iii) from contours

• Prismoidal method
• Also called Simpson’s rule for volume.
• Necessary to have odd number of cross sections.
• What if there are even number of C/S?
• Trapezoidal method:– Assumption mid area is mean of end areas.
– Volume =d{(A1+An)/2+A2+A3+…+An-1}
• A railway embankment is 10 m wide with side slopes 1.5:1. assuming the ground to be level in a direction transverse to the centre line, calculate the volume contained in a length of 120 m, the centre heights at 20 m intervals being in metres 2.2, 3.7, 3.8, 4.0, 3.8, 2.8, 2.5.
A railway embankment 400 m long is 12 m wide at the formation level and has the side slope 2:1. The ground levels across the centre line are as under:
The formation level at zero chainage is 207.00 and the embankment has a rising gradient of 1:100. The ground is level across the centre line. Calculate the volume of earthwork.
