Excerpt from Easy Rules for the Measurement of Earthworks, by Means of the Prismoidal Formula: Illustrated With Numerous Woodcuts, Problems, and Examples, and Concluded by an Extensive Table for Finding the Solidity in Cubic Yards From Mean Areas Examples in computation by our First Method. Illustrated by Figs. 53 to 64. Connected calculation of contiguous portions of Excavation and Embankment, with the passage from one to the other. Illustrated by Figs. 65 to 71. End sections to have, or receive, the same number of sides before calculation. Observations on mid sections. Importance of verifying all calculations. The Prismoidal Formula, the standard test for solidity. Correction for centres of gravity referred to as a refinement promoting accuracy, but not employed by engineers. This First Method easily applicable to masonry calculations. Borden's Problem, a striking example of bad cross-sectioning.
