Trapezoidal Footing = Cuboid + Truncated Pyramid
Rectangle Cuboid = Length x Breadth x Height
Where,
A1 = Area of Top Base
A2 = Area of Bottom Base
H = Height
A1 = 600 x 400
A1 = 0.24 m2
A2 = 3 x 2
A2 = 6 m2
Example:
Volume of Cuboid
= (L x B x H)
= (3 x 2 x 200 mm)
= 1.2 m3
Volume of Truncated Pyramid
= [ 1/3 (0.24 + 6 + 6.004 ) x 0.4]
= 1.632 m3
Volume of Trapezoidal Footing = Cuboid + Truncated Pyramid
= 1.2 + 1.632
= 2.832 m3
