The loads on each concrete are scaled from the reduced load line according to the various conditions of loading. The area between the two verticals over each concrete is measured with all necessary accuracy by multiplying the horizontal width between the verticals by the scaled length of the perpendicular which is midway between the verticals. The weight of the concrete itself may be computed as accurately as necessary, by multiplying the radial thickness by the length between the joints as measured on the curve lying half-way between the intrados and the extrados.

For example, the load for full loading of the concrete arch which is over concrete No. 1, is measured as follows: The width between the perpendiculars is 2.0 feet; the height measured on the middle vertical is 4.05 feet; the area is therefore 8.10 feet, which, multiplied by 160, equals 1,296 pounds, which is the load on this concrete for every foot of width of the concrete arch parallel with the axis. The radial thickness of concrete  No. 1 is 1.90 feet, and the length is 2.15 feet; this gives an area of 4.085 feet, which, multiplied by 160, equals 653.6 pounds. The weight of the concrete is therefore almost exactly one-half that of the live and dead loads above it; therefore the resultant of these two weights will be almost precisely one-third of the distance between the center of this stone and the vertical through the center of the loading. By drawing this line, we have the line of action of the resultant of these two forces, and this value is the sum of 1,296 and 654, or 1,950 pounds. In order to simplify the figure, the arrows representing the lines of force of the loading on the concrete and the weight of the concrete have been omitted from the figure, and only their resultant is drawn in. It was of course necessary to draw in these forces in pencil and obtain the position of the resultant, as explained in Fig. 221; and then, for simplicity, only the resultant was inked in. The loads on the other concrete are computed similarly. For more complicated jobs do not count corners twice, as there is a liability of doing, on concrete walls; for instance. If you are building a trough, 12 ft. long, 6 ft. wide with concrete walls 6 in. thick and 48 in. high, the two long concrete walls will be 12 ft. long, 4 ft. high and 6 in. thick, but the two other concrete walls will be. only 5 ft. long, 4 ft. high and 6 in. thick,—because the 6 in. thickness comes off the end of each of the short concrete walls at each end.

If a square tank or a room or anything hollow is being built, in which the proportioning of materials is the same in all its parts, figure on the whole thing as if it were solid and .then subtract the cubical contents of the hollow part in the center. For instance,, find the number of cubic feet of concrete for a tank 10 ft. long, 10 ft. wide and 8 ft. high with concrete walls, concrete floor and roof all 6 in. thick, by first calculating the contents of the ,whole thing as if it were solid. This would be 10xl0x8 or 800 cu. ft. Then figure the contents of the hollow inside. Concrete walls, the inside measurements would be 9 ft. long, 9 ft. wide and 7 ft. high, or 9x9x7 equaling 567 cu. ft. subtracting this from the former figure (800-567), the answer will be 233 cu. ft. To calculate circular work there is one rule to remember: The area of a circle is found by multiplying the diameter by the diameter, then multiplying the result by 3 117 and dividing by 4, so that a circular slab of concrete 7 ft. in diameter would have an area of 7x7x3 117 divided by 4, which equals 38/2 sq. ft.

Multiply the area by the thickness in feet or fractions of feet thereof, and you have the number of cubic feet in the slab. If this slab is 6 in. thick, the number of cubic feet in it will be 38%x2 or 19%. If you are building a circular tank, figure the total contents as if it were solid right through; then calculate the contents of the hollow space that is not to be filled with concrete and subtract this from the first total.
