COMPUTATION OF AREAS OF IRREGULAR FIGURES
If the boundaries are irregular and curved, the area is determined by ordinates method. This method is suitable for long narrow strip, such as railway, roadway, drainage. Etc.,
From the lengths and their common interval the area may be computed by the following rules
1. The end ordinate rule 2. The mid ordinate rule 3. The average ordinate rule or mean ordinate rule 4. The trapezoidal rule 5. Simpsonโs rule
1. End ordinate rule
A = d (O1 + O2 + O3 + O4 + O5 + O6)
2. Mid ordinate rule
A = d (M1 + M2 + M3 + M4+ M5)
3. Average ordinate rule (or) Mean ordinate rule

Computation of volumes of irregular solids 1. End area rule 2. Mid area rule 3. Average area or Mean area rule 4. Trapezoidal rule 5. Simpsonโs or Prismoidal rule.
1. End area rule End area rule โข This is one of the approximate methods. Volume V = (Sum of all areas of cross section except last one) x Common interval V = d (A1 + A2 + A3 + โฆโฆโฆ.. A n-1)
2. Mid area rule Volume V = Common interval X (Sum of all mid sectional area) V = d (Am1 + Am2 + Am3 + โฆโฆโฆ.. A m-1)
3. Average area or Mean area rule Volume V = mean cross sectional area x Total base length V =(๐จ๐+๐จ๐+๐จ๐+โฏโฆ๐จ๐)/ ๐ง ๐ฟ ๐ณ n = number of cross sections L = Total length
4. Trapezoidal rule โข The trapezoidal rule gives correct volume of a solid. It gives fairly good result. Volume ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ ๐= ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ / ๐ ( ๐บ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐

EMBANKMENTS AND CUTTINGS The method of the computation of the cross sectional area will depend upon the type of cross section. The following types of cross sections are generally in use 1. Level section 2. Two level section 3. Sidehill two-level section 4. Three level section 5. Multi-level section
1. Level section
Area of cross section = ๐๐๐ ๐ค๐๐๐กโ+๐ต๐๐ก๐ก๐๐ ๐ค๐๐๐กโ /2 ๐ฅ โ๐๐๐โ๐ก Area of cross section A = (2๐+๐)2 X h = ๐+2๐โ+๐2 X h A = 2(๐+๐โ)2 X h A = (b + Sh) h
2. Two level section
3. Side hill two level section
Sectional area of cutting portion = ๐ ๐ ๐โ๐๐ ๐ ๐+๐๐ 2 Sectional area of filling portion = ๐ ๐ ๐โ๐๐ ๐ ๐โ๐๐ 2
4. Three level section
A = h/2 (W1 + W2 + b) + b/4 (w1/ r1 + w2/ r2)
