My distance between sections is 100m. Section 1 at line 20+00 has a perfect radius of
material that is 10m. The area above the planned line can be computed using:
A1 = R2/2 = 3.14159 * 102 / 2. = 157.1 m2
(EQ 1)
(EQ 2)
(EQ 3)
(EQ 4)
In order to compute this, we will need the area across the midpoint of the section. Using a
radius of 15m, this is calculated as:
AM = R2/2 = 3.14159 * 152 / 2. = 353.4 m2
(EQ 5)
(EQ 6)
(EQ 7)
If the areas between adjacent sections are equal, then the routine will give the same result as
the Average End Area. In examples where the areas are different (such as our example), it
will result in less material being reported.
VOL12 = ( 157.1 + 628.3 + SQRT[157.1 x 628.3] ) / 3. = 36,652 m3
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
So, using the same cross sectional areas, we have 3 different results:
Method
39,270
36,652
36,652
The Prismoidal #2 formula gave the same answer as the Prismoidal #1 formula without
having to use a middle section!

In order to compute volumes in CSV, I took the data points I had generated in TIN MODEL
and cut two sections through the model to coincide with my desired sections.

CSV got a slightly lower result. Some of that is attributable to how TIN MODEL outputs the
data across the section.

COMMENTS
Just another example why you should be using the TIN MODEL!
