How to calculate the Area of Segment of Tunnel/Circle


 How to calculate the Area of Segment of Tunnel(Circle)
If length of Chord and height of segment are given, the short-cut calculation has been developed, called as CBS  FACTOR, the calculation has been shown below……..

Area of Segment of Tunnel/Circle =  ((Angle of Sector θ/360˚)-(Sinθ/2π))X CBS FACTOR


Where,
CBS FACTOR = 78.53981632
θ = 2X cos-1 (1-h/r)
where h=height of segment
          r=radius of circle
          θ=Angle of sector
r=(c²/8h)+(h/2)
 where c=length of chord
           h=height of segment.
          From above formula, we can calculate Area of segment of circle instantly with simple multiplication.

For example….
For  6 mtrs. Chord length and 1 mtr height of segment, the Area of Segment has been calculated…
Area = ((73˚44’23.26’’/360˚)-(Sin73˚44’23.26’’/2π))X78.53981632
             =4.0875m²
The above calculation can be verified using Auto-Cad or any mathematical technique
