Calculation of volume under x,y coordinates
Calculation of volume under x,y coordinates
(OP)
Is there a method to calculate volume of an irregular poly formed by crushed ore stockpile. I plotted the rough poly with excel, I intend to do it manually and checking accuracy with a software program. i have calculated the area under the coordinates. how do i calculate the volume? i have the heights of the coordinates, sorry i am definitely not a Pro.

Each patch boundary is simply half the distance to the adjacent data point.

A * (z1 + z2 + z3)/3
where A is the plan area of the triangle.
There are heaps of programs that will do this sort of thing, and all you'd have to do is import your data into one of these.

The remainder's volumes should be extensions of the 1/3 base_area*height equation from solid geometry. The general case involves finding the one side of the solid that is a quadrilateral and using that as the base. The altitude is the distance from the point that doesn't reside in the quadrilateral.

The volume of the bottom part is relatively trivial, i.e., calculate the area of the base and multiply by the height.
The left over solid is more complicated. The general case is that one of the three vertical sides will be a quadrilateral, while the other two vertical sides, the base, and the top are triangular.
I'm guessing the simplest solution is to calculate the area of the quadrilateral and multiply by 1/3 the altitude of the solid referenced to the plane of the quadrilateral.
