Unit 6 - Expected Learning Outcome

It highlights the methods used to calculate the area of regular and irregular shapes using trapezoidal and Simpson’s formulae. It describes the calculation of volume of regular and irregular shape using the above formulae as applied to stacks and heaps etc., quantity of soil required for construction of dykes also calculated. Differentiate between excavation, embankment, longitudinal and side slopes. It helps to calculate quantity of soil required to be removed from elevated place, quantity of soil need to be filled to pits or lower places for easy supply of water to the ponds in the form of canals or roads using mid-sectional area method mean sectional area method trapezoidal rule and Simpson’s rule.
